STYLE OFF! JACKIE VS. MARILYN
By: Abbie Stuart
Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy are two fashion icons from the same era, but you would hardly put these two ladies’ styles in the same category. With the styling of the late fifties and early sixties making a slow comeback, many people are looking to these two women for inspiration. Which style do you like better?
•When it came to jewelry, Marilyn often donned diamonds. For Jackie, it was a simple pearl necklace or brooch.
•Speaking of accessories, Jackie was often photographed with a pillbox hat during the day and white gloves at night. Marilyn, on the other hand, was often photographed with a fur wrap or scarf.
•Jackie loved wearing bright colors like pink and blue, while Marilyn stayed with more muted tones like beige and white.
•Marilyn’s image was always high feminine glamour. Jackie’s image was just as feminine but always simple.
•Marilyn immortalized the red lipstick, while Jackie immortalized the large, round sunglasses.
