— Lindsay Lohan is following in the footsteps of the most famous blonde bombshell of them all — Marilyn Monroe.

In the issue of New York magazine that went on sale Monday, the 21-year-old star of "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" poses nude for photographer Bert Stern in a re-creation of one of Monroe's most famous photo shoots, done shortly before she died.

Stern photographed Monroe in 1962 at the Hotel Bel-Air in California, six weeks before she was found dead. Those images for Vogue magazine feature Monroe in next to nothing, posing with some scarves and jewelry and sipping champagne.

Stern re-created those images with Lohan at the same hotel, with Lohan wearing a blond wig and not much else.

In the essay accompanying the photos, Lohan said deciding to do the photo shoot was easy.

"I didn't have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It's really an honor."
