My Week with Marilyn: Day 4 - Get the Monroe look, you’d be a bore not to!

To celebrate an icon that is still prevalent during our era, Kookie LaLa

Boutique is celebrating Marilyn Monroe’s signature look and how other women have followed her steps

in changing their image to mark a significant period in their lives.

Marilyn had a timeless quality that epitomised effortless sex appeal which inevitably makes her a popular icon today, sex sells and she did it in the most glamorous relaxed way. Big glamorous hair, perfectly groomed eyebrows and bold statement lips, which in their own right is a classic vintage look. Monroe was admired for a stylish and fashionable appearance that was, and still is achievable today. Although hair, make up and diamonds are girls best friends, no girl is complete without a dazzling hairdo. Marilyn knew how to turn heads with her classic blonde bombshell allure; every girl should claim a crop that makes them stand out even more in a Kookie LaLa Boutique gown!

Actress Michelle Williams dyed her hair to a dark colour for her role in film Wendy and Lucy (2008), but proclaims the real reason for cutting her long tresses is a bit more sentimental than the odd chop and change.

'I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it.'
- Michelle Williams

The former Dawson’s Creek star changed her hair to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s signature style which hundreds of women have done before. For Williams this was specifically for the purposes of the movie; My Week with Marilyn, whilst various females and superstars have done the same to give themselves a new lease of life including Marilyn Monroe herself.

Marilyn Monroe, (former brunette) grew up in foster care initially struggling with her career as an actress, she heard about a casting requiring a peroxide blonde and jumped to the opportunity head first!

Monroe dramatically changed her career from spraying airplane parts to being a model for The Blue Book Modelling Agency. This process instigated the metamorphosis of Brunette Norma Jeane into a peroxide blonde Marilyn Monroe.
