Marilyn Monroe's white halterneck dress voted "most iconic"
It's an image we will never forget... Marilyn Monroe's figure-hugging white halterneck dress flying up as she stood over a subway vent in the film The Seven Year Itch. Now it's been voted the most iconic movie dress of all time in a new poll by www.missbutterfly.co.uk.
Audrey Hepburn's LBD designed by Givenchy and worn in the film Breakfast At Tiffany's came in at second place. Some may argue this should be the other way around. Her black number famously went under the hammer at Christies last year for a record £410,000.
Other famous frocks to make it on the list include Julia Roberts' spotted Polo dress from Pretty Woman and Jessica Rabbit's red number in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Do cartoon dresses even count? Apparently so!
