The platinum curls, the bright lips, the come-hither gaze—is that Marilyn herself? Not quite. In a striking ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana’s Classic Cream Lipstick, the designers styled Scarlett Johansson exactly after Marilyn. The campaign was first unveiled in 2009, and in an interview with ELLE, Johansson talked about the similarities between her and the cultural icon: “I’ve always loved her, but the comparison is probably aesthetic—I’m kind of a signature blond, I’m curvy, I’ve embraced my femininity and my sexuality. But I certainly don’t have that lifestyle. We’ve lived in different times and come from different places. She was from the middle of nowhere. I’m from Manhattan!”
