Marilyn Monroe: “How to Marry a Millionaire,” 1953

Here comes Marilyn Monroe in a jaw-dropping red mini-dress from “How to Marry a Millionaire.” With matching red heels and an umbrella to complete the look, she’s the epitome of Hollywood glamor. The film follows three models, including Marilyn’s character, Pola Debevoise, who scheme to land rich husbands but discover that love trumps wealth.

Marilyn’s career started in the late 1940s, but she rocketed to fame with “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Some Like It Hot.” She was the first actress to own her own production company. Her legacy includes three Golden Globe nominations, with a win for “Some Like It Hot” in 1960.
