Marilyn Monroe's Shoes

These well-worn shoes are now highly sought after by collectors. For instance, the sandals from the movie xxx are worn down to the sole! They definitely could have used a trip to the cobbler for a new insole! Maryline's platform shoes with plexiglass soles are featured in a photo collection. Her simple yet unmistakably Ferragamo pumps also appear in many of her looks. She would be an example for us in this era of overconsumption.

Maryline perfected her pin-up looks: from her outfits to her perfectly sculpted eyebrows, she was seen in dresses, swimsuits, and pencil skirts with plunging necklines or cinched waists. Heels were a must in almost all the photos found, and surprisingly – unlike her contemporaries – she often wore the same pairs.

We can conclude that Marilyn Monroe wore simple, easy-to-wear, high-quality basics, designed to be styled with all her outfits. Her wardrobe thus featured pieces favored by minimalist fashion bloggers: a strong statement piece (her dresses) and timeless basics that flawlessly completed her look. Photos show her in light-colored pumps or sandals, with a heel height of 6 or 8 cm. Just enough to add elegance to her silhouette, and generally in shades that complemented her outfit.

If we too want to play the pin-up and adopt the total Maryline Monroe look, let's not forget the essential shoes: signed by an Italian designer, with a height that can be worn daily, and with a color that "goes with everything"... it's simple! Have you checked if there are any on My Pretty French Shoes?
