Ana de Armas's "Blonde" Costumes Are Nearly Identical to Marilyn Monroe's Looks

The cone bra shape on Monroe's most iconic couture gowns was taken into consideration. However, Johnson wanted de Armas to feel natural while still respecting the spirit of the original design. "I chose to not have her custom-made bra padded so overtly pointed, as this silhouette viewed in today's lens becomes a distraction from the story," she says. "This film is not about Marilyn's historical accuracy per se as much as it is about Marilyn's inner mind's landscape."
