BLONDE: Marilyn Monroe on Netflix

Five Sayings from Marilyn We Should All Live and Dress By

What do you want to bet we're all going to want a platinum blonde bob cut soon and feel an irresistible urge to wear red lipstick? We are already hooked on the idea of Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in director Andrew Dominik's new biopic "Blonde". The film, that is based on Joyce Carol Oates's book of the same name, puts the Hollywood icon in a whole new light. With this fiction film, we get a look into Marilyn's tumultuous private life and the price she had to pay for her fame. Add it to your must-watch list and set the reminder for September 23rd, because this won't be your traditional biopic. While we wait impatiently, we listed some of Marilyn's quotes and outfits to live by. Because "Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle."

2026 summer trend: the cortisol closet
This summer we are saying goodbye to neon/brat-summer colours and hello to cortisol-reducing pastels. TikTok has been fixated on the effects that cortisol can have on the body, with terms like ‘cortisol face’ dominating feeds for months now. As everything moves faster than ever, fashion palettes are shifting towards something calmer, quieter and more restrained. Step into this slower state of mind and build your spring and summer wardrobe around colours that feel like ease.

Like mother, like style: celebrate her in every way
Style isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you learn, often without realizing it. From her. The way she throws on a trench coat like it’s effortless. How she always seems to choose just the right scarf. Why she consistently goes for quality over quantity. But it also lives in the moments you shared, long walks filled with stories you still remember, spontaneous trips that stayed with you. This Mother’s Day is about that influence. We celebrate the small things she passed on, the details that shaped your taste, your eye, and your way of living.
