The iconic white halter dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch, is expected to fetch up to $2 million when it goes under the hammer next month.
The breezy pleated halter dress worn by the blonde bombshell has been put on sale by actress Debbie Reynolds.
The 79-year-old actress who’s hit a bit of a rough patch financially, has finally decided to sell off her vast collection of Hollywood mementos to the highest bidder.
Although the Monroe dress is the star of the collection, her other pieces are no less famous. These include Judy Garland’s costume from The Wizard of OZ and Audrey Hebpburn’s dress from My Fair Lady. However none can compare with the phenomenon that Monroe’s “subway dress” later became inspiring generations of Marilyn Monroe copycats .
Reynolds has said she hopes the items end up in ‘happy homes or even in museums’ so people can continue to enjoy them over the years.
