A kiss on the hand maybe quite continental
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend
So first of all I want to thank my friend Ashley for giving me the idea to recreate this iconic look. I was telling her how many ideas I have to recreate some iconic looks for the blog and she said “Oh you have to do ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”. I honestly didn’t know what look she was talking about but after checking out the video of Marilyn Monroe singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” I fell in love with this look and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I had to do a little digging for an inexpensive dress and cheap jewelry but I think I did pretty good. Details below!
Oh, also, I want to thank Kalen for going out in public with me while I was dressed like this and taking these pictures for me. I knew I wanted to shoot these at the Renwick Gallery in DC because of the red carpet staircase and the giant chandelier. It was so fun taking these even if a bunch of random strangers stared at me and I’m so happy with how they came out!
