At first, the Used Magazine 'Boo Boo Be Doo' editorial appears to be comprised of never-before-seen photos of American icon Marilyn Monroe. It is a testament to the talent of British impersonator Suzie Kennedy that anyone would even think that. [Michelle Williams](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michelle-williams-october-2011-vogue-us) didn't even manage to master the look as Kennedy did, and she won a Golden Globe for her Marilyn Monroe portrayal.

The Used Magazine Boo Boo Be Doo editorial was captured by London-based photographer Nik Hartley. Appearing in the publication's spring and summer 2012 issue, stylist Katy Lassen pulled [curve-hugging pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) from the racks of Prada, Comme des Garcons and Dries Van Noten. With her [platinum blond curls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-butt), signature smile and bedroom eyes, Kennedy channels Monroe beautifully.
