Description
Marilyn Monroe Personally Owned Lace and Chiffon Strapless Gown W/Letter of Provenance - This strapless gown with lace bodice, chiffon skirt, and beaded waistline was personally owned by Marilyn Monroe. The piece comes with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "Marilyn gave me this white exposed shoulder elastic bust netting with flowing chiffon skirt gown and rhinestone waist accent (belt like) to add to my star worn collection around 1960. No one has worn it but Marilyn." 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.
