Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: Pink Dress

Worn By: Marilyn Monroe
Year: 1954
Value: $319,000*

Marilyn Monroe dazzled in many of her movies as a blonde beauty, but one of her most famous appearances was in 1954’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The musical number “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” has been parodied millions of times, with everyone from Madonna to Nicole Kidman taking a stab at it.

For the scene, Monroe wore a very chic pink dress with long evening gloves. As you might have expected, when it came up for sale it was a given that it was going to be expensive. Marilyn herself might have balked at the final sale price of $319,000.
