Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend [4K-Ultra HD]

Details

Description

"Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" is the iconic musical number performed by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, directed by Howard Hawks. The film was based on the 1949 Broadway musical of the same name (itself adapted from a 1925 novel by Anita Loos).

In the movie, Monroe plays Lorelei Lee, a charming and gold-digging showgirl from Little Rock, Arkansas. Lorelei famously believes that financial security (symbolized by diamonds) is more reliable than romance, especially for women who want independence and security in a man's world.

🔹 The Scene:
In her signature performance, Monroe, dressed in a stunning pink satin gown with matching long gloves and dazzling jewelry, sings "Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" surrounded by a group of sharply dressed male dancers. The choreography, directed by Jack Cole, is sleek, stylized, and seductive, yet playful — emphasizing Lorelei’s cleverness and allure.

🔹 The Song:
Written by Jule Styne (music) and Leo Robin (lyrics), the song cleverly mixes humor and social commentary. Lorelei isn't portrayed as naive — she's very aware that youth and beauty are fleeting, and financial stability matters. It's both a celebration and a critique of materialism.

🔹 Cultural Impact:

Monroe’s performance became one of her most enduring images — the pink dress, her poses, the confident flirtatiousness — all etched into pop culture forever.

Many stars have since paid homage to this number, notably Madonna in her "Material Girl" video (1985), which directly recreates the look and choreography.

The pink dress Monroe wore sold for over $300,000 at auction in the late 2010s.

The scene symbolizes both glamour and empowerment, influencing fashion, music videos, and feminist discussions about women’s agency.
