Eternal Monroe
Billy Wilder’s romantic comedy released in 1955. Leaving the cinema, Richard Sherman’s handsome “neighbor” advances on the subway network and exposes his legs under the influence of his breath, amusingly causing the main character to turn around. The effect is based on a pleated dress created by costume designer William Tavilla, a piece featured on the film’s poster and forever associated with the actress. So much so that fifty-six years later it was sold for $4.6 million at an auction in 2011.
The wink earned Eva Longoria a flurry of compliments on her Instagram account from fans who described her as “gorgeous” and her dress as “elegant.” A perennial source of celebrity inspiration, Marilyn Monroe’s style is making a comeback on red carpets, from Scarlett Johansson at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival to Kim Kardashian at the 2022 Met Gala, without ever losing steam.
