Get a glimpse of Marilyn Monroe’s stunning costume from the 1956 film 𝑩𝒖𝒔 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑, designed by the talented Travilla. This jade green satin leotard features a black netting overlay, jet-like sequins, and scalloped gold bullion fringe with topaz-colored faceted glass.   The costume, worn by Monroe as Cherie, was later used by Leslie Caron in the 1959 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏. It even made an appearance in 1972 when worn by Christie’s employee Jane Kerin for a promotional photo.   The piece eventually went up for auction in 2016, selling for $100,000!   There is a Hollywood story claiming the piece Monroe wore was actually reused from an earlier production, as she wanted something that looked old. In any case, it’s possible that multiple copies of this costume are floating around, and though the ones worn by Monroe and Caron may not be the same exact piece, they certainly derive from the same set.   Discover more incredible costumes like this one by visiting our website.
