Ana de Armas looks uncannily like Marilyn Monroe in new photos from the upcoming Netflix film Blonde, directed by Andrew Dominik. In the pictures, de Armas dons Monroe's most famous outfits and recreates the star's iconic moments.
In one picture, de Armas recreates a photoshoot with Monroe's playwright ex-husband Arthur Miller, played by Adrien Brody in the film. Next, there's Dominik directing another photoshoot recreation, this time with Bobby Canavale as Monroe's previous husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio.
Then there's that infamous white dress from The Seven Year Itch and de Armas with Xavier Samuel, who plays Charlie Chaplin Jr., and Evan Williams as Edward G. Robinson's son. Finally, de Armas wears the bright pink "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" dress and stands with Blonde's choreographer, Denna Thomsen. Check out the pictures, which come courtesy of Vanity Fair (opens in new tab), below.

"It was such a gift to get to work with actors like Adrien Brody and Bobby Cannavale on this beautiful project," de Armas wrote in her Instagram caption. "Can't wait for everyone to see the wonderful work they do in this film."
Blonde is based off Joyce Carol Oates' book of the same name, and it's set to be Netflix's first NC-17 original film due to "some sexual content."
"I think if I'm given the choice, I'd rather go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story," Dominik told Vulture (opens in new tab). "Because we know that her life was on the edge, clearly, from the way it ended. Do you want to see the warts-and-all version or do you want to see that sanitized version?"
Blonde will premiere at this year's Venice
