Marilyn Monroe 'subway dress' sells for $4.6 million at auction

Possibly the most iconic dress in film history, the “subway” dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the 1955 film “The Seven Year Itch” was sold Saturday for $4.6 million at a Hollywood costume auction.

The dress, designed by William Travilla, was part of actress Debbie Reynolds’ private collection of nearly 600 costumes and other film memorabilia that were auctioned off at Beverly Hills’ Paley Center for Media.

The ivory, pleated halter dress was estimated to sell for about $2 million.
