Madonna’s wedding dress from her nuptials to Sean Penn sold for $81,250 at auction.
A collection of items once worn by the ‘Material Girl’ singer were sold at Julien’s Auctions’ Icons & Idols: Rock n’ Roll charity auction in Beverly Hills at the weekend, and as well as the gown from her 1985 wedding, a number of stage and movie costumes also generated huge sums.
The highest-selling item was the jacket she wore in 1985 movie ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’, which closed at $252,000, while one earring worn in the movie fetched $34,375.
Other items that went under the hammer included the gown and stole from her ‘Material Girl’ video, which sold for $73,125, a dress won in ‘Evita’, which went for $15,000 and the softball uniform donned by the 56-year-old star in her 1992 film ‘A League of Their Own’, for which the winning bidder paid $31,250.
And it wasn’t just fans of the ‘Ray of Light’ star who could pick up a unique piece of memorabilia at the sale.
A red sequinned cape worn by James Brown sold for $41,600 and a pair of John Lennon’s glasses went for $25,000.
A ring worn by Elvis Presley sold for $57,600 and a Gibson J200 guitar owned by Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, went for $43,750.
Madonna’s publicist previously stated the star had no part in the auction, which she did not profit from.
The representative said: "I do not believe any of what is being auctioned off was in Madonna’s possession.
"Designers often supply clothes for shoots that are then returned to the designers."
