The Movies' Best-Loved Costumes

Marilyn Monroe as the Girl in The Seven Year Itch (1955)
The billowy skirt of Monroe's white halter dress didn't ride up quite so high in the movie as it did in this famous production still. The scene, with Tom Ewell admiring his dream girl's pleasure at a blast of air through the subway grate, was originally shot near Grand Central Terminal, then reshot on a soundstage. The 20th Century Fox costume designer, William Travilla, dressed Monroe in eight of her movies, but never more memorably than here. Note Marilyn's high heels. Any Manhattan woman would tell you to avoid grates while wearing them.
