The little black dress, one of three versions made for Audrey Hepburn for her role as Holly Golightly in the classic romantic comedy, Breakfast at Tiffany's, was auctioned today at Christie's. It sold for £410,000.The money raised will go to the City of Joy Aid charity which helps underprivileged children in India.
It sets a world record for a dress made for a film but the world record for any dress belongs to the white silk evening gown worn by Marilyn Monroe the night she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy in 1962, which fetched $1.27 million at a New York auction in 1999.
Wow! And it's going to a good cause.
