It might be 70 years has passed when Marilyn Monroe, the American actress, singer and sex symbol was on her golden days. In 2011, Michelle Williams earned her Oscar nomination for her performance as Monroe in My Week With Marilyn. The based-on-memoir movie shows a slight of her life as an icon. There Williams was supported by excellent make up and wardrobe. Though the focus was Marilyn and her image as quite a sexy actress on her time, her costume design showed a blend of class and glamor in the ’50s era.
This edition of fashion from movies, I decided to highlight Monroe’s look in My Week With Marilyn, where Williams lived as her on screen amazingly. It seems that her must-have-items were white heels and shawl. Here are wardrobes :
White shirt, Pencil Skirt and White Heels
-
Silver Dress & White Coat
-
Black Turtleneck & Cropped Plaid Pants
-
Classic Wool Coat
-
Thank you, Polyvore

Readers, any thoughts? Did you liked or hated the movie? Which one is your favorite?
LOVELY post, Andina! I love the look of Marilyn in this film, Michelle certainly looks gorgeous in those outfits. Btw, are you on Pinterest? It’s been quite addictive, and I’ve only been on it for two weeks, ahah.

Thank you, Ruth
I am on Pinterest. Please add mine : http://pinterest.com/andinzki/ It’s understandable if you love it, because I do too!
I’ve often thought Scarlett Johansson would have been a good choice to play Marilyn, but Michelle Williams did a fine job.
She looks amazing in your pictures and she got an Academy Award nomination to boot.

Scarlett would do great physically, but I think Williams is perfect being Monroe. Yes, agree, thank you, Paul!
I thought the movie was average but Michelle was wonderful and she looked lovely. I really liked the combination of the coat, sunglasses and that white scarf on her hair.

They definitely did a good job working for her wardrobe. And Williams lived her character almost too real. Thanks, Sati. My fave is the cropped pants. The coat is a great choice as well.
I haven’t seen his movies yet but interested to see it although I am not Monroe’s fan.
It’s a nice idea for a post
I have been planning to do fashion post too but never quite find the time even thought the fashion I want to talk about only belongs to one person.

Is it Cillian’s fashionable wardrobe?
Will look forward for your fashion post!
Not him!! he is not as fashionable as my other celeb-crush
Cillian even gave his free branded clothes to his brother … he is a simple man.

All of these collections are fantastic! I’m a huge fan of Marilyn’s style so I like working things like pencil skirts, trench coats, and sunglasses into my everyday style. They’re nice, classic pieces create a little bit of a vintage style without looking like you’re on your way to a costume party.
Thank you so much for participating in the Fashion in Film blogathon!

Wow I wish I can wear trench coat on my regular day since I live in a tropical place. Yes, that’s true. I do love wearing classic outfits, they are feminine but simple.
Thanks to you too Angela, great topic for a blogathon!
I liked the movie well enough and love (as is becoming the standard) the pieces that you lay beside the film fashions. Will continue to check out your site for these posts!
Keep up the good work!
