Marilyn Monroe's iconic evening gown from 1955's The Seven Year Itch among actress' treasures set to hit the auction block... and it's expected to garner bids up to $200K


The auction house recently released images and descriptions of the lot, titled ICONS: Playboy, Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe, set to take place March 28-30.

'Explore rare memorabilia, fashion treasures, and iconic artifacts that capture the essence of an extraordinary era, and own a piece of history that continues to shape our modern world,' Julien's said in a statement about the lot, which embraces 'the allure of the past' and 'pays homage to these cultural titans.' The garment, which was inspired by Mae West and designed by William Travilla, was worn in the romantic comedy, in which Monroe starred opposite Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes and Sonny Tufts. In the issue, Monroe also paid homage to film icons including Marlene Dietrich, Jean Harlow, Theda Bara and Clara Bow.
