There is only one Marilyn. Even as we approach what would have been her 100th birthday, her glow hasn't dimmed; if anything, the world’s fascination with the girl from Los Angeles who became the ultimate global icon has only intensified.

At Julien’s Auctions, we have spent decades becoming the trusted stewards of Marilyn Monroe’s physical legacy. We’ve handled the "Subway Dress," the "Happy Birthday Mr. President" gown, and the most intimate of her personal archives. Today, we are thrilled to announce our most significant tribute yet: 100 Years of Marilyn, a premier auction event taking place June 4th in Hollywood.

Consider this auction a global centennial celebration of her life, her career, and her enduring mystery.

A Curated Glimpse Into Her World

Our specialists are currently preparing a catalog that spans the breadth of her transformation from Norma Jeane to the most famous woman in the world. The June 4th sale will feature personal wardrobe, including exceptional pieces worn by Marilyn both during her private life and in her most celebrated film roles.

Rare personal files and documents — many of which have remained unseen by the public for decades are also expected. You'll also find signed materials, handwritten notes, and personal annotations that offer a rare window into her thoughts, as well as photography documenting her journey from a 1940s starlet to the peak of her cinematic powers.

Now Accepting Consignments: Be Part of History

Because of the magnitude of this 100th-anniversary event, we are opening a final window for additional consignments. If you own a piece of Marilyn’s history — whether it is a rare photograph, a personal letter, a piece of jewelry, or a garment — there is no better moment to bring it to market than this historic centenary. At Julien's, we don't just sell items; we tell their stories. We ensure your piece is placed within the context of her incredible legacy, reaching the world’s most elite collectors.
