Marilyn’s bejeaned role as saloon singer turned pioneer woman Kay Weston in River Of No Return (1954) is listed among 40 Iconic Denim Moments in Movie History over at Harper’s Bazaar – although Clash By Night (1952) and The Misfits (1961) surely deserve honourable mention. She looked “rustic and stylish,” Charlotte Chilton writes, in “dark high-waisted jeans, a white cotton shirt, and a wide, brown belt.” Other screen queens noted for their denim style include Grace Kelly (in Rear Window), Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), and Brigitte Bardot (La Verité.)
