The Centennial of an Icon: Marilyn at 100.From May 29 through June 1, 2026, the city will transform into a living tribute culminating in an official Guinness World Record™ attempt to assemble the largest gathering of people dressed as Marilyn Monroe in history.
Break the Record, Make History
On Saturday, May 30, organizers aim to shatter the current record of 254 "Marilyns" by rallying 500 participants in downtown Palm Springs. This sea of white silk and golden curls will unite for a synchronized martini or "mocktini" toast beneath the desert sun.
To ensure the record is met with style, every registered participant receives a Marilyn Icon Kit, featuring the signature pleated white halter dress, the iconic platinum blonde wig and a ticket to the official record-setting event and celebration. The $75 registration kit assures our look-alike status.
“Marilyn was a trailblazing ally who championed authenticity long before it was fashionable,” said Jasmine Sulivan Waits of Palm Springs Pride. “By stepping into her shoes, our participants are supporting the values of visibility and inclusion that define Palm Springs.”
