The fifteen-year-old girl dreamed of seeing herself on the silver screen, but her longing to be truly loved was Marilyn Monroe's ultimate dream. Oates was inspired to write her 2000 novel, one that the author felt was her "Moby Dick," The New Yorker says, when she first saw a photograph of a young pre-peroxide Norma Jeane Baker. The key art brings us in close, suggesting that Monroe was "watched by all, seen by none."

From the teaser to the full trailer, audiences were treated to black-and-white reels of a deeply lost woman beaming for flashing cameras, splashed across the big screen, living the stuff that dreams are made of. Again, nothing sells the tragic story of a woman like the NC-17 promise of beauty and desire. In the film, according to a Netflix Queue interview with Blonde's leading lady Ana de Armas, "every scene is inspired by an existing photograph." Through some of Monroe's most iconic moments, captured and pored over throughout the years, it's fitting that the poster art be a close-up of De Armas sporting Monroe's classic agape red lips and lidded bedroom eyes.
The poster keeps it fairly simple, no flashy neons or all-star names in a marquee across the top, because, as in life, Monroe sells herself. Upon the release of the full trailer for Netflix's film Blonde, a blend of fiction and surreal elements of the Hollywood icon's life, the official key art poster was revealed. No matter how many times the story of the enigmatic Marilyn Monroe is retold, audiences will be captivated by just the suggestion of seeing her onscreen one more time.
