My Week with Marilyn: get the look

Marilyn get the look: My Week with Marilyn: Get the look
Top, £200, J Crew
The secret is leaving more to the imagination, which can be achieved with this chic v-neck. This nude colour cashmere top has a stunning effect on pale skin and blond hair.

Silk scarf, £130 and Coat, £425, Jaeger
Marilyn hardly ever wore bright colours in real life, almost always opting for beige, cream, black, white and, occasionally, red. A feminine touch was added with accessories such as this scarf

Dress, £740, Jane and Marilyn
Bag, £36, Warehouse
Unlike her infamous white halterneck dress, captures her gorgeous bombshell style in a subtle silhouette. Complete the look with a functional tan tote.

Dress, £90, Warehouse
Add sparkle with this sequin dress similar to the one Marilyn wore while promoting The Prince and the Showgirl. The wrap style flatters curves, and you could even finish with a dab of Marilyn's favourite Chanel No 5.

Blouse, £89, Hobbs
Skirt, £145, LK Bennett
Marilyn's civvy look was low-key compared to that of her Fox Studios persona but even her off-duty look turned heads. Recreating this look has never been easier than this season- the pencil skirt is everywhere.

Dress, £50, Oasis
Shoes, £365, Jimmy Choo
This shot of Marilyn with Sir Laurence Olivier, taken at a press junket for The Prince and the Showgirl, further illustrates the demure side to her wardrobe and proves you can never go wrong with a black dress and classic pumps.

Body shaper, £55, Tracey Boyd for John Lewis
As we are constantly told by every make-over show on TV that it's imperative to wear the right foundation garments to make the most of what we've got. For the ultimate 1950's starlet look try a retro body shaper.

Polo neck, £59, Hobbs
Heels, £479, Salvatore Ferragamo
A black polo says 'I'm serious', and it's also very this season. Sadly, the capri pant isn't enjoying the same 'moment' as the pencil skirt so we suggest interpreting this look with a dog tooth heel instead, from one of Marilyn's favourite footwear labels, no less.
