The 9 Most Controversial Movie Costumes in Film History

2. Marilyn Monroe, ‘The Seven Year Itch’

Okay, to be totally honest, this is absolutely exploitative, but it’s also one of the most iconic shots in all of film. At the time it was shot, everyone loved it — except Monroe’s husband, legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio. He tried to visit the set on the day of shooting, but couldn’t handle his wife being hooted and hollered at. He was pretty much the only (male) person who has ever registered a complaint with this shot, even if practically no one has seen the movie it’s in.
