In My Week with Marilyn, Michelle Williams stars as the titular blonde bombshell during her time filming The Prince and the Showgirl with Sir Laurence Olivier (played by Sir Kenneth Branagh) in England in 1956.
Original costume display for My Week with Marilyn
This exhibit of original costumes from the Marilyn Monroe movie was photographed on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on November 13, 2011.
The movie is based on two books written by Colin Clark, who worked as an assistant on the British set of The Prince and the Showgirl and spent time with Marilyn Monroe when her newlywed husband and playwright, Arthur Miller, left the country.

Michelle Williams wore this ensemble as the infamous screen starlet and I believe it's also the outfit featured on one of the promotional posters for the movie.

in My Week with Marilyn
Kenneth Branagh wore this regal looking costume portraying the legendary actor 'Laurence Olivier', who himself was playing the 'Prince Regent of Carpathia'. You can compare this royal outfit to the costume that Sir Laurence Olivier actually wore in The Prince and the Showgirl movie.
