In this exclusive, Ana de Armas reflects on portraying Marilyn Monroe in her new film, Blonde.
, starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, received a 14-minute standing ovation at its grand premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday. The film offers a fictionalized chronicling of Monroe’s inner life as she grappled with her superstardom. De Armas was drawn to the project not only as an opportunity to slip into Monroe’s signature glamorous fashions , but to showcase a different side of the vampy Old Hollywood star.
For the film’s premiere on Thursday, it was important for de Armas to pay tribute to Monroe’s fashion signatures. Her pink, hand-pleated satin mousseline gown by Louis Vuitton did just that. “The inspiration for the dress was to pay tribute to iconic dresses that [Marilyn] wore, whether in films or in real life,” says de Armas. “I wanted to combine the silhouette of the white dress she wore from.
Hairstylist Jenny Cho and makeup artist Melanie Inglessis paid homage to Monroe in their own ways, too. Cho nodded to Monroe’s polished 1950s-style waves. “I wanted to capture the glamour of the ’50s to go with the beautiful Louis Vuitton dress,” she says. “I blow-dried hair with mousse, then pin-curled sections with a 1-inch curling iron and set to cool down. Then, I brushed them into a shape and misted with a strong hairspray for hold.
