marilyn monroe black dress in from the Last Sitting (1962) by Bert Stern black as in the picture or red MARILYN MONROE BLACK COCKTAIL DRESS

In fact, the little black dress is more than a dress: it is a concept that will surely live on for centuries to come

Known for her obsession with vintage and her playful take on fashion (she's considered one of the first true street style stars), she became the ingenue every designer wanted as their date at awards shows

The same pattern can look heavier, stiffer, or more bridal just because of the lace surface

(Fans have also speculated that the diamond earrings Monroe wore that night were also gifted to her by Frank Sinatra.) In a deep emerald green, the gown Norell designed for Monroe still looks surprisingly fresh and current today: any A-list star could slip into it for an awards show this year, and nobody would ever suspect that its from seven decades ago

Make sure it isnt blurry
