Every Marilyn Monroe fan knows that she was drawn to the bright shades and sharp designs of the Pucci brand of clothing and accessories. Countless images show her wearing a simple Pucci design in bright solids, as well as the geometric patterns and classic looks that clearly rendered them Pucci just with a simple glance.
Marilyn was wearing a vibrant green Pucci blouse in the last ever photos of her taken the weekend before she died, and Marilyn was actually buried in a green Pucci dress.
