Marilyn Monroe
A Fashion Icon
She wore Chanel No5 to bed; her favourite store was Bloomingdale’s; and she even wooed a President – Marilyn Monroe’s beauty, style and elegance is truly timeless…
From her platinum blonde locks and stunning red pout to her signature curves, Monroe knew her style and how to flaunt her best assets.
Monroe would often choose black or muted colours, such as beige, white and cream; while her penchant for pencil skirts with matching sweaters, halter neck dresses and Capri pants, made for effortless, polished, chic. And her style hasn’t faded – look no further than modern day icons Madonna or Gwen Stefani. She has been the muse to artists, musicians, actresses and countless others, while also influencing and inspiring generations of women around the world. In 1998, Andy Warhol’s Orange Marilyn sold for $17.3 million, the highest price ever paid for his work.
Ahead of the film release of ‘My Week With Marilyn’ this month, which sees Michelle Williams take on this iconic lead role; here are some of my favourite shots of Marilyn and her immaculate beauty…
Happy weekend xx

Celebrating A Timeless Icon
“Big Girls Need Big Diamonds.” – Elizabeth Taylor
In the Fall edition of V Magazine, both Kate Winslet and Lara Stone channel iconic style icon Elizabeth Taylor. Shot by Mario Testino and styled by Carine Roitfeld, the imagery is simply mesmerisingly beautiful.
To evoke the screen goddess, Kate Winslet wears scarves and turbans paired with glittering diamonds and gems from Harry Winston, David Webb and Chanel. Lara Stone channels a pink haired Elizabeth Taylor in pin-up inspired looks and even poses with miniature pet figurines…
Très Chic!
Hope you all have an iconic weekend! xx

Diane Kruger Exudes Old-Hollywood Glamour
Evoking timeless elegance; Kruger’s classic style is perfectly refined – from exquisite red carpet beauty to weekend chic.
Sighting Karl Lagerfeld as a ‘stepfather’ figure – Diane Kruger is the epitome of chic. The German born beauty has previously modelled as the face of Chanel; been a global spokesmodel for L’Oréal; and appeared across countless best dressed lists.
While she does have a soft spot for Chanel couture; Kruger isn’t afraid to take risks on the red carpet. Whether embracing a vibrant colour or choosing classic black and white, Kruger’s beauty radiates from within. Often acting as her own stylist, hair and make-up artist for red carpet events, Kruger is fluent in the language of effortless style.
“I truly, genuinely like clothes. Making them is an art form, and wearing them is a form of self-expression. I find it very emotional because I can remember moments in my life—my mood, how I felt—through these clothes.” – Diane Kruger
