A tribute to Marilyn
Palm Springs became a Marilyn Monroe convention on June 1 when 1,037 people in white halter dresses and platinum blonde wigs gathered downtown to celebrate the Hollywood legend’s 100th birthday.
The crowd shattered the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of Monroe lookalikes. The previous record was just 254 people, set in Australia in 2020. California more than quadrupled it.
Palm Springs has a storied connection to Monroe, who regularly vacationed in the Coachella Valley during her Hollywood years. June 1, 2026 marked exactly 100 years since her birth, and the desert city rose to the occasion.
