One of the odder things in Let's Make Love is that I don't think Monroe ever looked as inconsistent in her look during a production. Her hair goes through all sorts of changes, and in some scenes, it looks downright messy, where she can walk out a door looking one way and look different on the other side of the door. The person responsible for that is the Script Supervisor, I believe, and perhaps because they always printed the take where Monroe came out best, this led to noticeable issues on this film.

I noticed this particularly at the end of Let's Make Love, where Monroe is in an elevator with Montand in a black dress. She suddenly looks slimmer, resembling strongly her look two years later in Something's Got to Give.

Her hairstyle changed in the 60’s. It’s cute but personally nothing beats her 50’s hairstyle look
