Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe

She starred in numerous movies and earnt a sex-symbol title that still remains 50 years after her death, and this Sunday, June 1st, is Marilyn Monroe's birthday. Although the American starlet may be best known for her three short-lived marriages and that seductive je ne sais qoui she possessed, here at Little Black Dress the talented siren is one of our ultimate icons. Ms Monroe created arguably one of the most influential photographs of all time when that white dress met a rather cheeky gust of wind at the The Seven Year Itch promotion, and she epitomised 50s glamour with her trademark blonde bob and red-lipstick. We adore the icon's timeless style, and whether she was wearing a sophisticated pencil-dress or a sexy off-the-shoulder number one thing is for sure, she always flaunted her gorgeous curves. So hourglass fashionistas take note, as we're looking back at the Ms Monroe's best and most iconic dresses:
