Skinnier Than Most
Contrary to the enduring myth that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16, fashion editor Sara Buys of The Times of London provided a definitive clarification. Buys had the unique privilege of trying on some of Monroe’s actual clothing, and her firsthand experience debunked the misconception. She confirmed that Monroe consistently wore a size eight during her career and, even during phases of weight variation, never exceeded a size 10.
This revelation sheds light on the often inaccurate perceptions of Monroe’s body size, emphasizing that she remained within a narrower range than the commonly propagated belief of her being a size 16.
