Gorgeous, sexy, sensitive, iconic, and beautiful Marilyn Monroe would be 88 years old on the 1st of June. Her legend and style are one of the most well-known in the world with her charming performances and tragic death.
I thought for her birthday; I collect a bunch of pictures to show you her seasonal color palette. I think Marilyn Monroe was a bold and exciting Clear Spring (Spring-Winter) seasonal color woman. She always wore radiant and clear colors that fit her well, and her feminine, romantic, and sexy style also indicates to me this seasonal palette.
So let’s start to analyze her face first.
Her original hair color looked like brown-copper; she’d got porcelain skin tone and blue eyes. After she dyed her hair, she usually had a golden blonde shade and later platinum blonde. The latter fits more for Summer seasonal color women; however, she also could wear it well because of her cool Winter sub-coloring.
Her eyes don’t seem so clear and light on some photos, but she had jewel-toned eyes and quite white parts in them that also determinate Winter sub-coloring.
Her overall look was fresh, vivid and sparkling as all Clear Springs have 🙂
Here are a couple of colorful dresses and outfits that she wore. Besides the clear and light colors, you can also observe the characteristics of a typical Clear Spring women’s style. She usually wore feminine and elegant outfits, dresses, or suits on official events, and more sexy and bold gowns for the red carpet and, of course, in her movies.
She often wore gold and/or colorful statement jewelry in her roles that were a great match to her style.
In her iconic movie, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, in 1953, she wore nearly all the power colors for Clear Springs -royal blue, true green, orange, red, hot pink, brown, and gold.

I absolutely love these two extraordinarily sexy and sparkling dresses that she wore in Some Like It Hot, 1959.
She also wore white and black dresses and outfits with romantic patterns like floral print or polka dots.
