The upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic\u00a0Blonde<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is set to be one of the biggest film releases of the year with early rave reviews and a lengthy standing ovation at Venice Film Festival<\/a>. After appearing at the lavish event last week, the movie’s leading lady Ana De Armas<\/a> has returned to the US for the Los Angeles premiere.<\/p>\n

If diamonds<\/a> are a girl’s best friend, sequins must be a close second. The Cuban-born actress walked the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre wearing a gold sequin gown by Louis Vuitton<\/a> with a halter neckline, low back and short train. The dress seemingly pays homage to Monroe in her iconic gold gown from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Blonde\u00a0<\/em>is written and directed by Andrew Dominik and is based on the Joyce Carol Oates’ bestselling novel of the same name. It will explore the “complicated life” of the Hollywood star and despite a controversial NC-17 rating Monroe’s estate have expressed their full support<\/a> of the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarilyn Monroe is a singular Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history,\u201d Marc Rosen, president of entertainment at Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which owns the Marilyn Monroe Estate, said in a statement to\u00a0Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAny actor that steps into that role knows they have big shoes to fill. Based on the trailer alone, it looks like Ana was a great casting choice as she captures Marilyn\u2019s glamour, humanity and vulnerability. We can\u2019t wait to see the film in its entirety!\u201d<\/p>\n

Blonde\u00a0<\/em>will release on Netflix on September 23.<\/p>\n
