Monroe Iconic

Arguably the most famous starlet of all time, Marilyn Monroe has somehow made it into the minds of every generation since her own.  Singing Happy Birthday to the President in 1962, she became global, if she hadn’t been already.  It’s sad to think about who might have been singing her Happy Birthday today, because we are certain it would have been a worldwide event, so in honor of her, we toast her style and those who she inspired long after her death.

The famous ivory William Travilla dress Monroe wore in “The Seven Year Itch” is among the Debbie Reynolds‘ collection of costumes going to auction in Beverly Hills this month at Profiles in History Auction, the value at between $1 million and $2 million. Mariah Carey bought the white baby grand piano belonging to Monroe for $600,000.00 not too long ago, we wonder who will bid on this!

Adored by all types of men from singers to athletes and fellow actors. Woman all over the world have impersonated her signature style, especially that of the most famous photo of her in the white dress blowing in the wind.  Amongst the scandal and the stories, she was a tormented fragile beauty who’s style remains’ timeless.

Three months before her death she was introduced as “the late Marilyn Monroe” making a dig that the timelessness, little did they realize the truth in it. There are many theories on what happened to the singer, actress and model, but in the end the Los Angeles Police Department ruled her death as accidental, but did confirm her last phone call was to the President of the United States, Kennedy.

Diamonds are a girls best friend

Elton John wrote Candle in the Wind about her, everyone from Madonna to Michelle Williams to Jennifer Lopez and Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith all have imitated her.   If intimidation is the biggest form of flattery then she should be blushing at the number of people who are inspired by her.  Mira Sorvina & Ashley Judd played her,  Mariah Carey named her daughter Monroe after her, Megan Fox tattooed Monroe on her arm, and Lohan named her leggings line 6126 in honor of her birthday June 1, 1926.

Madonna "whos that girl" and Monroe

The list of well known and lesser known woman who have interpreted her style continues to grow, but perhaps the woman who is said to have done it most is the iconic Madonna – known for reinventing herself time and again – its amazing to note many similar poses and styles she has to Monroe, perhaps making Monroes’ style the most inspiring of all time. Starting with her “Material Girl” themes which show her dressed in a similar pink dress to Monroe’s with men adoring her as she sings “Material World” and then throughout her entire “who’s that girl” film and albums around that, to W Magazine shoots where she is posed similar. It could be just by chance, which would make sense too considering how Madonna is for sure one of the greatest sex symbols in America now.

Madonna & Monroe

Either way, we hold a moment of silence for Monroe today and thank her for showing us that a woman can be stylish and sexy without all the skin.  Despite being the first woman to ever pose for Playboy Magazine, Monroe has remained a classy and elegant fixture in Hollywood.

We know her style legacy lives on, not just retold by Madonna, but by generations yet to come and her life maybe will inspire others to live their life full of passion, but keep to their health.

Happy Birthday Ms. Monroe!

After all the rumors about Nicole Richie and stylist Rachel Zoe, we were surprised to see the two posing for photos together at when we attended Andy LeCompte‘s West Hollywood Salon opening. Is it possible that LeCompte himself paved the way for a reconnection?

Regardless, LeCompte was so busying touring with Madonna, his salon went open for months before he could host a proper unveiling. Finally when he did, clients like Lindsay Lohan, Micha Barton and of course Nicole Richie all came out to support.

While Madonna was not on hand, LeCompte did reveal quite a few secrets of the popstar. We’ll share but first a little background - he opened the salon with business partner (and fellow stylist) Leanne Citrone,  the two hand picked everything from the “cute coffee cups” to the unique art on the walls by their favorite L.A. artist Paul Rusconi. The  artwork is vibrant and alluring on most every wall in the raw studio like salon, which is tucked behind L.A. fashion designer Jenni Kayne‘s store.

Andy LeCompte's West Hollywood Salon

The hosts, LeCompte, Citrone and Kayne, had candy bar stations equipped with everything from Lolipops to Hershey’s kisses and the washing station sinks were all filled with ice and champagne, poured by typically attractive Angeleno bartenders. In addition to candy and cocktails, guests were given gift bags filled with Joico hair products and some lucky goers also claimed their own House of Harlow headpieces, designed by Nicole Richie and sold in the salon. Nicole sported a gold one herself.

Other clients such as Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Kate Walsh and Fergie were not in attendance, but we’re told are frequent visitors. Now back to Madonna, if you want to get locks all sexy like her’s, LeCompte suggests adding texture by using Sunsilk Waves of Envy Sea Spray and then use either a Revlon 3 Barrel Jumbo Waver. Or if can’t get yourself an appointment to see LeCompte, get that sexy tousled look Madonna, Mischa and Lohan love, by using dry shampoo, a waterless way to freshen and restyle hair when you can’t indulge in a regular shampoo and blow out.

We took the advice and realized this was not only a great way to create that lusty look, but also a terrific soultion when you’re traveling, or rushing out the door with no time for proper primping.

Dry Shampoo Available at Sephora

Naturia Dry Shampoo by Rene Furterer, sold at Sephora is perfect to cleanse hair in minutes leaving it luminous and healthy with no water. The formula absorbs impurities and oil in the scalp with a high absporption power of essential oils that soften’s hair and will give you that “Madonna” look. 

Congrats to LeCompte, both talent and lovely, we could not be happier for his success!

Dolce and Gabbana also added an iconic fashion theme to the show paying homage to Marylin Monroe.

Gowns with Monroe’s smiling face adorned the models down the runway and it seemed that the new makeup ad campaign face, Johansson, who was dressed a light green silk dress with cap sleeves, could not keep her eyes off those styles. Johansson, a reddish-brunette at the moment, was done up in the campaign to look like Monroe with bright red lipstick and white blond hair.

The UK Telegraph reported on Johansson’s shoot saying, “I’m kind of buxom. I love red lipstick and I love a good lip. I was working with Pat McGrath, the British make-up artist, and she was so funny. Everyone kept saying, ‘Get Pat off the set. Scarlett’s smiling too much.” 

“She is beautiful, and she has beautiful skin,” Stefano Gabbana said of 24-year-old Johansson. He added that she embodied the concept of beauty for young people today.

The Queen of Pop has always reinvented herself, making designers like Jean Paul Gautier, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana quickly grow to worship not only her talent, but her ability to make their clothing world famous. Since the late 80′s, Madonna’s fashion style, along with her music talent and controversial ways, has been a popular subject in media. For nearly two decades she has set trends and on October 18th, Dolce & Gabana along with the Cinema Society and Madonna herself hosted the premiere of her directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

Following the premiere, Madonna and her guests headed over to Jason Pomeranc’s newest hotel, the Thompson LES (lower east side), where Madonna christened the hotel and restaurant SHANG with its very first event.

Madonna’s choice to launch her film in the East Village was simply because, as she honestly put it, “it is where my struggle began.”

Her gritty film had guests talking. “It’s an honest reality about human beings,” one guest said.

Madonna, who was wearing a black Dolce & Gabana blouse with a see thru skirt, told reporters: “There is a little bit of me in every character.”

Actress Vicky Mclure’s character helps children in Africa. Eugene Hutz’s character is as aspiring pop star who pays the bills by performing S&M acts. Actress Holly Weston plays a graceful ballet dancer who transforms into a stripper. Weston chimed into editors at the party that Madonna “knew exactly what she wanted andwas actually on set before all of us daily.”

The pop star spent most of the evening with her friend/partner Guy Oseary and uber agent, Jason Weinberg, who made for gracious dates.

Guests at Madanna's party.

Guests at the party included a range of star talent and fashion icons like Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, Ed Westwick, Diane Kruger, Josh Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Marc Jacobs, David Blaine, Jeremy Piven, Jessica Alba, and Malin Akerman — all dressed of course in Dolce.

Akerman dotted over Madonna and declared “after her Blond Ambition Tour, I wanted to be just like her.”  Jean-Paul Gaultier designed the costumes for that tour, including the now-infamous cone brassiere.

Madonna's Jean Paul Gaultier designed, Blonde Ambition look, circa 1990.

The Recording Industry Association of America ranks Madonna as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century.  Guinness World Records list her as the world’s most successful female recording artist of all time and the top-earning female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of $490 million, having sold more than 200 million records worldwide. On March 10, 2008, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
