Palm Springs event aims for Guinness World Record with Marilyn Monroe impersonators
A large gathering of Marilyn Monroe look-alikes is set to take place in downtown Palm Springs, California, as part of an effort to set a new Guinness World Record. Organized by Greater Palm Springs Pride, the event celebrates what would have been the iconic Hollywood actress’s 100th birthday. The goal is to assemble up to 500 volunteers dressed as Monroe, surpassing the current record of 254 impersonators, which was established in Brighton, Australia, in 2020. Participants in the event paid a $75 registration fee and were provided with signature Monroe-inspired items, including a white dress, platinum-blonde wig, cat-eye sunglasses, and a martini glass to complete the iconic look. The celebration includes fans, local residents, and public figures who are participating in the themed gathering. Activities have included costume preparation, wig styling, and photo opportunities at venues such as the Hyatt Hotel and downtown Palm Springs landmarks. The event highlights Monroe’s lasting cultural influence, drawing attention from both fans and media as part of a broader commemoration of her legacy. It also reflects Palm Springs’ ongoing connection to Hollywood history and celebrity culture. Beyond the record attempt, the event serves as a community celebration, bringing together people who admire Monroe’s enduring image in film and pop culture. Organizers hope the gathering will not only break the existing world record but also create a memorable tribute that reinforces Monroe’s iconic status nearly a century after her birth.
