You Don’t Have to Be a Blonde Bombshell to Look Like Marilyn Monroe
Many have imitated her look, and many more will continue to do so, but there will only ever be one Marilyn Monroe. Her platinum blonde curls, her dazzling smile, and her iconic beauty mark all made the actress an icon for style and beauty in Hollywood and beyond. Superstars like Madonna, Rita Ora, and even Beyoncé have been styled à la Marilyn, proving that you don’t have to already be a platinum blonde bomb shell if you want to look like Marilyn Monroe.
