Maybe diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend. A bullet of red lipstick is.
, a woman named Norma Jeane Mortenson became Marilyn Monroe, a bombshell with excellent comedic timing — like Betty Boop made flesh. Monroe’s sex-symbol status didn’t come until she underwent a major physical overhaul and was cast in roles meant to weaponize her new look. One bleach job, a seemingly ever-present wash of glossy red lipstick, and alater, Monroe emerged fully formed as the biggest movie star of the 20th century.
Monroe’s story is a complicated one, but her on-screen presence often served one simple purpose: To entertain audiences while being the most beautiful thing to look at. As Lorelei Lee in the 1953 film, there was nothing she loved more than diamonds and luring rich husbands to buy them for her.
Monroe leaned into her persona as red-lipped seductress off-screen, attracting moneyed men in real life just as she did in her roles as a bombshell. Monroe’s life ended early and tragically, in a death that to this day is shrouded in conspiracy theories, some of which explicitly suggest the actress was murdered as a result of the classified information she kept buried in her affairs.
, MD, echoes what Specter states: If you want attention, you wear red lipstick. Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry also had striking red lips when they took up Catwoman’s mantle.No iconic character proves that theory better than Jessica Rabbit inRabbit was only a supporting character in the 1988 film, but her seductive performance stole the show — even if sheanimated. Like Boop, Rabbit became an instant two-dimensional sex symbol.
The same can’t be said for Angelina Jolie as Maleficent in the 2014 film of the same name. Jolie’s interpretation of Sleeping Beauty’s tormentor is a villain driven by a complicated and traumatic backstory of betrayal and violence. The film wasn’t exactly a critical darling, but the star’s performance and startling features drew a compelling picture nonetheless. In aon Roger Ebert’s site, critic Matt Zoller Seitz called Jolie’s prosthetic-enhanced cheekbones lethal weapons.
