Shattering the Hollywood Myth: The Surprising Truth About Marilyn Monroe’s Real Size That Even Shocks Her Biggest Fans

Forget the rumors—what size was Marilyn really? 🤔😳 Marilyn Monroe, the unrivaled 2️⃣0️⃣th-century beauty symbol, still stirs curiosity today 🤭😍 But would her figure fit modern standards? 😦🫠 Discover the surprising truth behind her real size and why the rumors about her shape are way off in the article below! ⬇️⬇️

The image of Marilyn Monroe continues to captivate people even today.

She was the unrivaled sex icon of the 20th century, with a body that many women admired.

However, there are still debates about whether the actress would meet today’s beauty standards. To answer this, many have wondered what size Monroe actually wore.

Monroe’s career wasn’t very long since she tragically passed away at just 36 years old.

Still, we have her movies, hundreds of professional photos, and candid shots that remain popular. People continue to analyze these materials, hoping to uncover the truth about what size the Hollywood icon really wore.

You often hear that Monroe wore a size 14, which would now be considered around a size 52-54 or L/XL in modern clothing sizes. Actress Elizabeth Hurley went as far as to call Monroe “fat” after viewing her dresses in an exhibition.

So, was Marilyn plus size, or did she have the perfect body? The truth is, the confusion comes from the fact that size charts in the 1950s were very different from what we use today. For example, what we now call a “size zero” used to be closer to a size 10.

This means that Monroe actually wore clothing that would now be considered around size 42-44. Additionally, her measurements were documented by the Blue Book modeling agency when she signed a contract with them at age 19.

Monroe had nearly perfect hourglass measurements, standing 166 cm tall and weighing about 53 kg. Interestingly, at the time, she was said to wear a size 12.

Over time, Monroe’s weight did change slightly. But, according to the pathologist’s report after her death, she still weighed about 53 kg.

Most researchers who have studied Monroe’s life today agree that she likely wore a modern size 8-10, which is a medium.

So, while she wasn’t considered skinny by today’s standards, she was nowhere near plus size!
