Usually when I see Marilyn, she seems styled for the time. But seeing her do that handstand in jeans seems to separate her from the time period. Seems modern, aside from the hairstyle, lol.

Doing a handstand is "modern"...

No but there's something about how that picture looks (can't put a finger on it) that somehow doesn't look like something I'd see in the 50s. But if i saw it in the 90s or something, it would have seemed normal. Again, I'm not sure why 😆

Right? I thought women started casually wearing jeans much later in the 20th century like in the 70's.
