On this day 63 years ago…
March 5, 1962
————————
Marilyn Monroe and José Bolaños at the Golden Globes where she won the award for World Film Favorite Female 1961
To the event Marilyn wore a green sequinned Norman Norrell dress alongside emerald and diamond earrings. She had purchased the dress the previous year to wear at a party with Frank Sinatra (whom gifted her the earrings) and during a photoshoot with Douglas Kirkland in November 1961.
Following her gall bladder surgery, Marilyn had lost weight. Concerned that the original design of the dress might flatten her bustline, her maid, Hazel, attached a discreet strap around her neck, transforming the dress into a halter style, which resulted in a crowl neck design. Marilyn wanted an exposed back, so she opted not to use the side straps, instead integrating them into the dress’s front.
