How to Style It With Your Hair

PonytailPull hair into a sleek high ponytail secured with a crystal-embellished scrunchie so the doubled or tripled strands become the centerpiece.
Half-UpStyle a polished half-up half-down with a center part, allowing the 30" strand to lay cleanly along the collarbone and décolletage.
BunSweep hair into a low chignon so the pearls elongate the neck and showcase the Lele and Marilyn charms without competition.

Styling Tips
- Store the pearls flat in the custom collaboration pouch to prevent tangling and preserve the soft faux pearl finish.
- When doubling or tripling the strand, layer it over solid necklines—black, ivory, or jewel tones—so the pearls stand out.
- Skip statement earrings when wearing the strand tripled; opt for small studs or no earrings to keep focus on the neckline.
- Keep the rest of the accessories in a similar tone family—pearl, gold, or crystal—for a cohesive Marilyn-inspired glamour moment.
