# MM100 Inspired by the lingerie worn by Marilyn Monroe, this collection brings together the foundations behind one of the most recognisable silhouettes in fashion history. From authentic bullet bras and Marilyn Monroe style lingerie sets to sheer seamed stockings and vintage-inspired suspender belts, these pieces recreate the glamour, structure, and femininity associated with 1950s Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe's lingerie was never simply decorative. Her famous silhouette relied on carefully chosen foundation garments designed to shape the body beneath clothing, creating the lifted bust, defined waist, and soft curves that became her signature look. Throughout her career Marilyn wore a variety of structured bras, including bullet bras, whirlpool stitched bras, sheer “invisible” bras, and revealing low-cut styles designed to create the illusion of effortless glamour. At What Katie Did, we specialise in vintage inspired lingerie using authentic mid-century construction techniques. Many of the styles in this collection are based on original 1940s and 1950s designs, including true bullet bras with circular stitching, high-waisted shapewear, classic suspender belts, and fully fashioned style stockings. The result is Marilyn Monroe inspired lingerie that not only looks vintage, but recreates the silhouette of the era properly. The collection also includes peach and nude tones inspired by Marilyn’s famous “nude illusion” dressing, alongside dramatic black lingerie reminiscent of the glamorous pieces she wore on and off screen. Whether you are recreating a classic Hollywood pin-up look or simply searching for elegant vintage lingerie with authentic shaping, these designs capture the romance and technical craftsmanship of mid-century foundation wear. Explore our MM100 lingerie collection and discover the bullet bras, sheer stockings, and vintage lingerie styles inspired by the most enduring bombshell of the 20th century. ## Products in this collection - [Centennial Whirlpool Bra](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/centennial-bra-marilyn-monroe-inspired) - 59.5 GBP - [Centennial Suspender Belt](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/centennial-6-strap-suspender-belt) - 57.5 GBP - [Centennial Thong](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/centennial-thong-marilyn-monroe-inspired) - 39.5 GBP - [1930s Peach Lounging Robe L8017](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1930s-long-satin-robe-peach) - 85.0 GBP - [Harlow Peach Satin Bullet Bra l6071](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1950s-peach-satin-bullet-bra) - 46.75 GBP - [Glamour Midi Waspie](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/glamour-midi-waspie) - 51.5 GBP - [Mini Bullet Bra Pads A1077A](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/mini-bullet-bra-pads-a1077) - 6.5 GBP - [Cuban Heel Fully Fashioned Stockings H2034](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/cuban-heel-fully-fashioned-stockings) - 32.5 GBP - [Sheer Glossy Tights Cava H2099C](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/15-denier-glossy-tights-cava) - 14.99 GBP - [Merry Widow Glamour Nouveau L3035](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/merry-widow-corset) - 119.5 GBP - [Sheer Glossy Stockings Cava H2093C](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/sheer-glossy-stockings-cava-h2093c) - 14.99 GBP - [Pagoda Pink 1950s Fitted Dress](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/pink-floral-1950s-fitted-dress) - 99.5 GBP - [Overbust Corset L4092](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/overbust-corset) - 199.5 GBP - [Long Black Gloves A2017](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/long-black-gloves) - 17.5 GBP - [Black Seamed Fishnet Tights H2088F](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/seamed-fishnet-tights) - 14.0 GBP - [Celia Black 1940s Bra L6104BL](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1940s-black-lace-bra-celia) - 47.5 GBP - [Black Seamed Stockings H2044](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/black-seamed-stockings) - 14.0 GBP - [Fenella Blue Short Sleeve Jacket](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/fenella-blue-short-sleeve-jacket) - 19.5 GBP - [Fenella Black Pencil Dress V019BC](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/vintage-black-pencil-dress) - 99.5 GBP - [Long Black Sheer Gloves A2016](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/long-black-sheer-gloves) - 39.5 GBP - [1940s Peach Vintage Lace Camiknicker](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/peach-vintage-lace-camiknicker) - 69.5 GBP - [Kate 1950s Longline Bra L6101](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1950s-longline-bra-kate) - 54.75 GBP - [CC09 1940s Satin French Knickers L2019](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/satin-french-knickers-cc09) - 39.5 GBP - [Fishnet Tights (Seamfree)](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/fishnet-tights) - 12.0 GBP - [Norma 1950s Navy Bra](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1950s-navy-bra) - 59.5 GBP - [Norma Navy Suspender Belt](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/norma-navy-suspender-belt) - 49.5 GBP - [Norma Navy Knickers](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/norma-navy-knickers) - 39.5 GBP - [Point Heel Fully Fashioned Stockings H2033](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/fully-fashioned-stockings-point-french-heel) - 32.5 GBP - [Priscilla Black Lace Babydoll](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/black-lace-babydoll-priscilla) - 59.5 GBP - [1940s Black Lace Camiknicker](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/1940s-black-lace-camiknicker) - 69.5 GBP --- > Source: [What Katie Did](https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/marilyn-monroe-lingerie) > Updated: 2026-07-06
