Film - Live-Action:

  • Birds of Prey: In a dream Harley Quinn has when she's unconscious, she's leading a dance number wearing a purple dress like Marilyn in "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Or maybe it takes inspiration from Madonna's "Material Girl", which references "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" anyway (see below).

Music:

  • Madonna is a lifelong fan of Marilyn, it's no surprise to find her referenced in some of her songs:
    • "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is referenced in the music video of "Material Girl" with Madonna wearing the iconic purple dress.
    • In the video of "Vogue", several of Madonna's poses and hairstyles mimic Marilyn.
