Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Marilyn Monroe’s costume from There’s No Business Like Show Business (20th Century Fox, 1954), worn by the star as Vicky Parker during the saucy “Heat Wave” song and dance number, was the star lot after selling for $280,000, which was hundreds of thousands more than its estimate of $60,000-$80,000. A three-piece ensemble includes the bandeau top made of black raw silk adorned with black sequins and dangly black bead-balls, with a hot pink silk scarf with black silk and sequin embellishments; a full, floor-length skirt made of beige cotton with a black floral print, decorated with over-sized black sequins, waist area made of gathered black raw silk with same adornment as top plus an attached self-belt that closes right at the belly button.
