Marilyn Monroe wearing the iconic Jean Louis skin-tight nude mesh dress, which has more than 6,000 hand-sewn crystals, was specifically made for Monroe to wear to a Democratic fundraiser and 45th birthday celebration for President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden on May 19th 1962, where she sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to the delighted President.

The body hugging flesh coloured dress was inspired by a sketch by a 21-year-old Bob Mackie. Monroe asked famed Hollywood costume designer Jean Louis to create a dress “that only Marilyn Monroe could wear.” The nude chiffon gown, perfectly matching Monroe’s skin tone, is embellished with hand-sewn round crystals, carefully placed since the dress was created with no underlining layer. Monroe wore no undergarments under the dress. The back of the dress has a scoop neck and open back with clear zipper, covered by hook and eye tab closure and a small train at the back hem. Despite the zipper and closures, the gown was so form fitting that Louis later disclosed that Monroe had to be sewn into the back closure. His hand stitching is still evident beneath the lower back hook and eye tabs. The dress sold at Julien’s Auction on November 17, 2016 for $4.8 million, making it the most expensive dress ever sold. Today the value of the dress is even higher.

#don't get me started on kim k wearing it #she just ruined the value of it #now monroe is not the last person to wear it #the historic value of the dress is tainted #disappointing that ripleys agreed to it #i understand the anger #marilyn monroe #jean louis #1962 #fashion #style #1960s

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

Bell, Book and Candle / Kim Novak as Gillian Holroyd

This reversible leopard-print cape is not only attractive, but symbolic. It's the first article of clothing we see Gillian wear that isn't black or red, and it appears right after she decides to accept Shep's proposal of marriage. It first appears with the leopard side out, over a brilliant red base, when she finds out her brother has been collaborating on a book that threatens to expose New York's magical community. Later, we see it with the leopard side in, over a black dress and hood, when she decides to tell Shep the truth. After that, her clothes return to black and red until the very last scene, when she appears in springy pastels.

The costume designer for this movie was Jean Louis (Berthault), who also designed Gilda and won an Academy award for The Solid Gold Cadillac.

Movie: Pillow Talk (1959)

Jan Morrow (Doris Day), a successful interior decorator in New York City, goes on a date in a swanky restaurant while wearing an emerald green chiffon dress with a turquoise and diamond necklace, earrings, and bracelet set from Laykin et cie.

The producer wanted to transform Doris’ image from "the girl next door" to classy sex symbol, so famed designer Jean Louis was hired to do her wardrobe and Laykin et Cie lent $500k worth of jewels for her to wear.

The three-piece set was actually used twice in 1959. It was first worn by Lana Turner in Imitation of Life, another Universal Pictures production shot just before this movie. Lana’s wardrobe was also designed by Jean Louis and her jewels also provided by Laykin et cie.
