The resemblance was uncanny, making it hard to distinguish Kendall from the original Marilyn.

Renowned NY-born, LA-based hairdresser Irinel de León, a Global Dyson Hair Ambassador, collaborated with Ouai founder Jen Atkin to craft Kendall's Monroe look. This duo, known for their innovative and impeccable styling, ensured that Kendall's transformation was nothing short of spectacular.

The look used a flawless base with as focus on her signature winged eyeliner, emphasising the upper lash line. False eyelashes and mascara were added for a dramatic silver screen starlet effect. The Monsieur Big Mascara from Lancôme is a staple in Mary's personal makeup bag, "It really makes my eyes pop. It's my all-time favourite," she told Hello! Fashion earlier this year. Keeping true to the reference, Mary used lip liner to define lips and filled in with a classic dusky rose lipstick. Finished with a beauty mole, Monroe's timeless look was complete.

One of the standout moments of the homage was her caption, a subtle nod to Monroe's famous serenade to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. With the words "happy birthday mister president," Kendall paid tribute to the very essence of Monroe's seductive allure.
Kendall's Marilyn Monroe Halloween costume not only showcased her chameleon-like resemblance to the iconic star but also proved her ability to embrace and embody classic Hollywood glamour.
