Pop star Rihanna – who has been sporting an MM-style blonde wig of late – commissioned this portrait of Marilyn (made from 65,000 Swarovski crystals), for her new Hollywood home. It is based on a haunting 1954 photo from Milton Greene’s Ballerina session.
Artist Claire Milner tells Haute Living, ‘I tried to capture some of the complicated and contradictory aspects of Marilyn – the glitter and the public façade, the sadness in the eyes.’
