MAC Cosmetics’ latest muse? Marilyn Monroe! The screen siren, who taught us that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, inspired the makeup giant’s new limited-edition line, which captures her iconic beauty with a range of bombshell-worthy eye shadows, nail lacquers, eyeliners, and lipsticks. With names like Charmed I’m Sure and Preferred Blonde, there’s a lot to love in this 30-piece lineup. See the entire collection in the gallery, and shop the items at maccosmetics.com starting September 27 and in stores October 4.

At the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, Marilyn Monroe‘s most memorable movie moment—her rousing rendition of “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,” in the 1953 musical comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes—is being celebrated by Chopard.  The Swiss jeweler has created a diamond necklace in honor of the blonde bombshell’s object of affection in the film. The extravaganza captures the spirit of the bib the actress flaunted in her famous musical number, but it is far more dazzling, featuring almost 200 carats of diamonds. We’re sure Marilyn would approve—or better yet sing, “Square-cut or pear-shape, these rocks don’t lose their shape!”
