Marilyn Monroe's Honeymoon Outfit Is Very 2019
We may never find out where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went on their top-secret honeymoon, but luckily not all celebrity couples have been so hush-hush after their weddings. We already delved through everything Princess Diana wore on her honeymoon, and now it's time to revisit what another icon wore: Marilyn Monroe.
Monroe was married three times, but it was her outfit during her 1956 honeymoon with The Crucible playwright Arthur Miller that caught our eye. Photographed in a cardigan, slim trousers, heels, and a basket bag, Monroe was the epitome of chic. Her look could easily pass for a 2019 outfit, especially considering everyone's obsession with basket bags this summer. Scroll down to see the look for yourself and to shop similar bags.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
