An auction of most than 800 of Amy Winehouse’s dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories that she wore on stage, in photo shoots and at various public events brought in $4 million over the weekend, Julien’s Auctions said Sunday.
The biggest seller of the event was the dress Winehouse wore in her final stage performance in Belgrade in her 2011 Summer Festival Tour, which sold for a $243,200, which Julien’s said was 16 times its original estimate of $15,000. The dress is described as a “custom-made figure-hugging halter mini dress designed by Winehouse’s designer and stylist, Naomi Parry, [which] has a bamboo and floral print on silk incorporated into a Spanx dress.”
Another hot item was a Moschino custom-made red leather heart-shaped purse used by Winehouse at the 2007 Brit Awards, which sold for $204,800, 13 times its original estimate of $15,000.
