Relive Madonna’s playful homage to Marilyn Monroe in this white halter pleated midi dress, worn during her iconic “Seven Year Itch” sketch on Saturday Night Live in 1985. Crafted from lightweight, billowy chiffon, the fitted bodice features a plunging halter neckline that elegantly frames the shoulders and décolletage. A gathered empire waist cinches just below the bust, ensuring a flattering fit before the dress flares into a full, pleated skirt that ends mid-calf, capturing the breezy, feminine spirit of Marilyn’s original costume.
Perfect for themed parties, retro-inspired events, or a bold red-carpet look, this celebrity-inspired performance dress pairs flawlessly with strappy white heels and classic red lipstick to channel old Hollywood glamour. The pleated skirt billows with movement—especially when caught by an imaginary breeze—evoking the unforgettable moment of Marilyn’s subway grate scene. Complete the ensemble with a softly tousled blonde bob or shoulder-length waves and subtle diamond or faux-pearl accessories to fully embrace the effortless, timeless appeal. Whether you’re stepping onto a stage or celebrating a vintage-inspired soirée, this dress ensures you’ll capture the same enduring charisma Madonna brought to her legendary SNL performance.
