Description
Marilyn Monroe's Personally Owned White Lace Trim Slip From The Sydney Guilaroff Collection W/Notarized Letter of Provenance - This white silk nylon slip was personally owned by iconic American actress, Marilyn Monroe. The slip has a decorative lace trim around the bodice and hem and adjustable straps. The piece comes with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "This light off white plain adjustable strap silk nylon slip size 36 was left at my studio when she flew in from New York and changed to get ready for a dinner engagement around 1961. Marilyn was pretty irresponsible with her things and when I told her that it was here, she told me to give it away (which of course I couldn't)." Sydney Guilaroff was a hair stylist during Hollywood's Golden Age who was the first to receive on-screen credit in films. He worked for more than forty years at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios on more than a thousand films, and was instrumental in crafting many of the hairstyles which became the signature looks for numerous film stars. Guilaroff was a friend, stylist, and confidante to many Golden Age stars including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Audrey Hepburn along with Marilyn Monroe, and styled Marilyn's hair for her funeral in 1962.
