GALLERY: Which Modern-Day Marilyns Have Attempted to Fill Ms Monroe’s Stilettos?

The legacy of Marilyn Monroe

This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the death of iconic screen siren, Marilyn Monroe. Still one of the most talked about women in the world (and one of the most imitated), her beauty trademarks – red lips, platinum blonde hair – are synonymous with allure and sexuality. From the actresses who’ve played her on screen to the models that’ve posed like her in print, take a look at our gallery of Modern-Day Marilyns and tell us which of them you think captures Norma Jean’s sparkle...

Find out how to get Marilyn Monroe's iconic makeup look with these tips from blogger Tanya Burr.

Lindsay Lohan

In 2008 Lindsay Lohan posed for photographer Bert Stern for the cover of New York magazine. Together they recreated the photoshoot MM did with Stern in 1962 dubbed 'The Last Sitting', six weeks before the star’s death. Lohan has also since shot a provocative spread for Playboy inspired by a nude pictorial of Marilyn.
