How to Marry a Millionaire — Embroidered Hollywood Trio

A playful tribute to the glamorous trio from the classic film How to Marry a Millionaire starring Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, and Betty Grable.

This mixed-media textile artwork transforms a vintage film still into a hand-embroidered celebration of mid-century Hollywood glamour. Vibrant threadwork highlights the iconic silhouettes of the three actresses—bright red stitching for the swimsuit, golden yellow for the high-waisted shorts, and delicate green embroidered details across the dress—bringing bursts of color and texture to the black-and-white image.

Mounted on natural fabric inside an oval embroidery hoop, the piece blends classic cinema imagery with contemporary fiber art. The embroidered accents emphasize the playful confidence and star power that made this trio one of the most memorable ensembles of 1950s Hollywood.

The result is both nostalgic and modern—Old Hollywood charm reimagined through the tactile language of thread.
