Although Marilyn Monroe has been out of the spotlight for decades, her influence is truly eternal.
It seems every few months, a new modern celebrity references Monroe — be it Selena Gomez rocking her signature manicure , Kendall Jenner trying a bleach blonde 'do for Halloween , Florence Pugh styling her silver hair in a retro way , or even Kim Kardashian dusting off one of her most famous gowns for the Met Gala .
On June 7, the youngest Jenner sister posted selfies of an unexpected hairstyle with the cheeky caption, “Did someone say they missed king kylie.”
The “King Kylie” era , of course, references a time when the Kylie Cosmetics founder changed her hair color seemingly on the daily (i.e. her infamous teal lob) — though this time around she's playing with a vibe that's *very* Marilyn Monroe-coded.
As for her makeup, Jenner wore overstated black winged eyeliner — which is somewhat referential to the glamourous eye look Marilyn once wore — along with with brown-toned, '90s-inspired lined lips.
Next to vibrant shades of ice blonde (which have recently been spotted on the likes of Beyoncé and Sabrina Carpenter ), a few more natural blonde hues are trending for the summer months ahead.
