Marilyn Monroe was never out of the headlines when she was alive, and she’s still very much a part of public consciousness today. That being said, it’s impossible to look back on her movie looks and not be completely fascinated.

Perhaps one of Marilyn’s most infamous looks was the white dress she wore in The Seven Year Itch. In the movie, Marilyn’s character stands on a subway grate, causing the dress to blow up. The ivory gown went on sale in 2011 and absolutely smashed targets, making $4.6 million.
