Iconic Moment: Marilyn Monroe's White Dress

Marilyn Monroe's white dress scene in "The Seven Year Itch" remains one of the most memorable moments in cinema history. Captured during filming, the scene epitomized Monroe's allure as the dress billowed in the wind from a passing subway train beneath a sidewalk grate.

Despite its iconic status, Monroe's husband at the time, Joe DiMaggio, reportedly loathed the dress and the scene, reflecting the controversial nature of the film's portrayal of Monroe's character.
