Marilyn Monroe's Style: How To Dress Like A 1950s Screen Siren (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Channel Marilyn Monroe In These 1950s Styles

Michelle Williams has been making waves as of late with her performance in "My Week With Marilyn," which has landed her a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination. While her portrayal of the legendary screen goddess was magnetic, we're zeroing in on the fashion, specifically the sexy yet feminine style that showcases her tiny waist and gorgeous curves.

Obviously Miuccia Prada has been spending some time at the movies as well, because her spring 2012 collection was seriously channeling the 1950s. Set in a drive-thru, the show was full of accordion-pleated skirts that hit just below the knee, full coverage bathing suits (that are still outrageously sexy, as only Mrs.Prada can do!), and cat-eye sunglasses.

We dare you to try 1950s style this spring in sheath dresses that are nipped in at the waist, just-below-knee-length-skirts and shrunken sweaters. And of course, the accessories: cat-eye sunglasses, pointy-toe heels and frame bags are must-have ingredients for this fashion formula. What better way to watch as "My Week With Marilyn" vies for an Oscar at the February 26th ceremony?
