This year’s Cannes Film Festival—which opens tomorrow—commemorates Marilyn Monroe on the 50th anniversary of her death. She’s featured both on the festival’s posters and in an exhibit of 25 unpublished images—captured by frequent Monroe photographer Milton H. Greene—thanks to festival sponsor Chopard. The “Marilyn Forever,” exhibition opens to the public at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes tomorrow, May 16. After the festival, it will travel to Chopard boutiques around the world alongside a Monroe-inspired “Tribute Set,” made up of a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace and earrings, weighing over 210 carats in total. Marilyn did love her diamonds, after all.
See the necklace after the cut.
