Marilyn Monroe Has The Perfect Beauty Look For Valentine's Day (PHOTO)

Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate sex symbol . With her platinum blonde locks, hourglass figure and famous beauty mark, she rose to fame as a actress, model and singer in the '50s. Unlike many stars in Hollywood today, Monroe possessed an alluring quality that left her image ingrained in the minds of people everywhere -- can you recall the photo of her standing over the subway grate in that white dress ? It was moments like these that made her an icon and still give her relevancy today , even decades after her death .

In this 1953 photograph, we see Monroe on the set of the film "How To Marry A Millionaire ." The Los Angeles native looks amazing in a satin dress that accentuates the curves that she was known for. Her hair is perfectly coiffed as she stares into the camera with a coy smile. Ms. Monroe's full lips, long lashes and thick brows add finishing touches -- the perfect beauty look for Valentine's Day .
