Marilyn Monroe Collection

Marilyn Monroe's Personal White Fox Fur Cuffs

A set of matching white fox fur cuffs, previously fastened to the sleeves of a full-length evening dress coat worn by Marilyn on multiple occasions, including to the premiere of "The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T."

When it came to the premiere, the grand party or the big event, Marilyn had a sure sense of her own image, and dressed as she believed a film star should. This meant long white kid gloves, waterfall earrings of rhinestone and pearls, and the ultimate allure of white or black fur. Furs were for evening and for being a star.
