Marilyn Monroe’s Personal Skirt
From the personal wardrobe of Marilyn Monroe: A gray wool skirt cut in a classic A line silhouette with a matching belt. The interior label reads “Matthews Beverly Hills.”
The Skirt
This skirt was a signature piece of the 1950s. Marilyn wore skirts like this privately and publicly, and wore them on screen. She favored tailored, practical garments that worked in multiple contexts. The A line silhouette was flattering and comfortable. The matching belt added definition.
The label Matthews Beverly Hills shows where Marilyn shopped for her everyday clothes. This was quality, well made construction. It reflects her preference for garments that balanced elegance with practicality.

Collector’s Note
This skirt was purchased from Matthews Beverly Hills, a luxury retailer. It shows where Marilyn shopped for her private wardrobe when money was not a constraint. The quality of the construction and the tailoring reflect what she valued in her everyday clothes. She invested in pieces that would last and that fit her properly.
