The dress of Marilyn Monroe sold at auction for 4.6 million dollar!

Marilyn Monroe was and will forever be an icon of woman, femininity and style. Today, her dress was auctioned for the modest sum of 4.6 million! The dress in question is famous... it is what she wore in the movie 'When the Seven Year Itch' (1955 film by Billy Wilder), it is habit that you see in pictures that Marilyn is held down while it is in the gutter "puffing" subway below! A dress made history of cinema and that somehow entered the collective imagination.

The dress, once white, now is a cream that has been given the inevitable passage of time. The white dress Marilyn Monroe was part of the collection of relics of the actress that Debbie Reynolds has put up for auction 2 days ago along with other famous clothing, such as those used for The Wizard of Oz and Cleopatra.
