Photo: Bert Stern
In New York Magazine’s current Spring Fashion issue, Lindsay Lohan is reborn as Marilyn Monroe, posing for photographer Bert Stern as Monroe did in 1962 for a sessions that became known as “The Last Sitting.” But many of you probably knew that already. And many of you have already seen the pictures. So because the session is historic and beautiful, we’re pleased to share five outtakes that did not appear in the magazine. We’re particularly fond of the photo shown above, which might be the most Marilyn-esque of all. The new images are numbered 10 through 14, and you can find them here.
