CELEBRITIES IN PEARLS: Marilyn Monroe Only Loved to Wear Her Husband’s Pearls

Posted by

Marilyn Monroe is forever an icon of style but an interesting fact that many of you may not know is that this fashion influencer had almost no interest in jewelry. There was one piece that she really treasured and that was a simple 16 inch string of pearls given to her by her husband, Joe DiMaggio, during their Japan honeymoon in January 1954.

Monroe and DiMaggio divorced later in the year (1954) allegedly due to DiMaggio’s constant requests for Marilyn to give up her career. During their divorce hearing, it turns out that she still had love for not only DiMaggio, but she also still had love for the Mikimoto pearl necklace he had given her because she wore it to court during their divorce hearing. read more

 Take a look at beauty at its finest! There is nothing “Like A Boy” on recording artist Ciara, especially in this cream colored pearl embroidered blouse and skirt by Zara, and pumps by Christian Louboutin. This was during her “Body Party” touring in August, 2013 and she looked like a million bucks!

 Recent News: Ciara and her baby bump (that’s right, she is having a baby!) will be hitting the stage at the 56th annual Grammy Awards, post-ceremony event that will have the Roaring 20’s theme.  If you know anything about Ciara, you know that she is an amazing dancer that really knows how to move and entertain the crowd!

Hey Fashionistas:

We came across the image and it took our breath away! When it comes to beauty, class, edge and jazz, how can we ever forget the woman behind the woman that wore the banana skirt and pearls?
