If in Vietnam there is a saying `long legs and short brain`, then in Western culture slang it is `blond girl`, used to refer to girls who are beautiful but lack thinking and bad behavior.
.
The combination of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell is the focus of the film, when both of them, with their sharpness and fiery bodies, make obedient men voluntarily become `lambs`.
Jane Russell’s role as Dorothy Shaw in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes reflects the image of `a woman modeled after Hawks`, she must have a strong, independent personality and possess both intelligence and beauty.
In addition to the light comedy and loveliness of two famous Hollywood actresses, the fashion of girls who are aware that they are beautiful, with a youthful and stylish style, is liberal and has a `playboy` quality.
In particular, this is the first collaboration in which designer William Jack Travilla (1920-1990) is in charge of fashion for star Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe tried out a model designed by costume designer Travilla before filming the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953).
The makeup was responsible for Allan Snyder – Marilyn Monroe’s personal makeup artist.
The gorgeous red sequined dress with a high slit that burned every image that actress Marilyn Monroe wore when performing the song `A Little Girl From Little Rock` still makes so many hearts skip a beat every day.
The sequined dress appears like a fiery, hot, sexy velvet rose.
The sexy performance outfit, with the chest decorated with large roses, comes with a sparkling sequins hat to help fully show off Lorelei Lee’s hot curves.

Performing the song `Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend`, Marilyn Monroe wore a haughty pink satin dress, pink gloves with lots of diamonds and this image truly made her a fashion icon.
The dress is made of peau d’ange, a type of silk satin, with a large butterfly wing design on the back as a highlight.
Diamonds!
It’s a bit of a shame that the Gold Dress only appeared briefly in the moment Lorelei Lee danced with the rich man `Lord Beekman` to the music `Down Boy`, but the symbolism
In 1953, the boldness of the dress’s low-cut chest was considered inappropriate and caused mixed public opinion at the time.
At the Photoplay Awards in 1953, Marilyn wore a gold brocade dress to promote the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Marilyn’s sexy pumpkin-colored evening dress and Jane Russell’s mysterious black sequins dress when entering the ballroom captivated many eyes.
Because she loved this design, Marilyn made herself a salmon pink dress based on the prototype of the pumpkin dress in the movie.
Lorelei Lee has a strong love for expensive gemstone jewelry, so she cannot contain her excitement every time she sees diamonds.
The Royal Blue color is very eye-catching because it brings a pleasant feeling to the viewer, plus the generous design on the chest of the Morningstar84 dress, worth $235.00, brings the perfect femininity to Lorelei.
Classy with a long-sleeved LBD dress, harmoniously coordinated with a leopard-print cape scarf.
Lorelei’s beautiful wedding dress at the end of the film is also very impressive with its soft white lace and delicate hand embroidery, helping her become a beautiful bride that any man would wish to have.
