Marilyn Monroe is an iconic figure in pop culture as well as a cautionary tale. Her allure appeals to men and women alike, and for some reason every actress has to pose like her at some point in her career. This list is compiled of 25 actresses that have posed as Marilyn Monroe. Some good (Madonna, Gwen Stefani) some bad (Kate Upton, Michelle Williams), and some down right awful (Jennifer Lopez, Mira Sorvino). All that continues to be proven from these attempts is that Monroe was a one of a kind star, and all those that try to emulate her fall short. Who is your favorite Marilyn Monroe look alike out of these Marilyn Monroe look alikes? Vote now!

Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith was also obsessed with Monroe and lived her life as a version of her, even dying at the young age of 39 due to the mixture of pills and alcohol.
Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron posed as Marilyn for a magazine shoot as well.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera, much like Gwen Stefani, also lives her life as a Marilyn Lookalike.
Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani lives her life as a Monroe Lookalike. Constantly done up in platinum blonde hair, red lips, and liquid liner Stefani doesn't even take a day off to go to the beach.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson posed coiffed like Marilyn (and striking a similar pose that Marilyn once did) on the cover of Esquire Magazine, much like fellow pop star Britney Spears.
Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams actually played Monroe (well enough to earn her an Oscar nom) in the film "My Week With Marilyn". Williams still took a lot of flack for not looking like the star.
Mira Sorvino
Mira Sorvino played Monroe in a little known film called 'Norma Jean and Marilyn".
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts also took a stab at looking like Monroe.
Scarlett Johansson
Maybe it's because Marilyn Monroe perfected blonde hair, red lips, and a shy come hither pose, but whenever someone pulls that look together you automatically see it as an impostor. So when Scarlett Johansson said she was not "channeling" Marilyn Monroe in her Dolce and Gabba ads people scratched their heads.
ScarJo "doesn't channel" Monroe a lot....
Kate Upton
Kate Upton is America's favorite supermodel...this year. So it's only natural that someone would make her do a "Monroe Pictorial". Muse magazine put Upton in white sheets, drinking coffee at a cafe looking gloomy, and naked in a closet.
