Yahoo entertainment home

It is not every day that you go through the wallet of an icon like Marilyn Monroe.

The cylindrical metal with metal minaudière of gold with flowers of precious stones is one of the 204 items for offer in Julien’s Bold Luxury: The Limelight Edit Auction and Yahoo Entertainment received a preview of the offer. For the wallet, which slides into a black velvet lid, it was dangling from the wrist of Monroe, it was a practical experience.

Martin Nolan, co-founder and executive director of the auction house, gave us a tour of the content. The wallet is expected to get between $ 100,000 and $ 200,000. Within the Pandora through the three compartments of Wadsworth Clutch were a makeup compact (still powder on the puff pastry) and Mirror, a tube of lively red lipstick (Dorothy Gray’s “Jewel or India”), a comb, eight cigarettes (Philip Morris Limited, not borrowed special battle 1943 and 1945) for phone calls.

The “very special” bag, which is completely “incognito” when he is put in the pendulum is what Monroe would wear if she went before the evening, Nolan said. “It is a work of art – such as a monet, Picasso or Van Gogh”, as well as a “great conversation piece”.

Watch yourself-the Yodel is the source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories.

While the Hollywood -Superster was only 36 when she died of a barbiturate overdose in 1962, she had a will that left her physical property and 75% of her intellectual property to her acting coach, Lee Strasberg, and his wife, Paula, who were up to her as surrogate parents. The Lee Strasberg estate sold the bag and other items via Julien in 2016. There was a bidding war between designer Tommy Hilfiger and music manager Tommy Mottola over the bag. Hilfiger, a collector of some of the most famous fashion in Monroe, won with an $ 187,500 bid.

Hilfiger and his wife are now selling the bag, with part of the proceeds to the next for autism.

That is just one item for offer in the lot at the moment online prior to a live auction on March 27 – and we do not hate to investigate the historical documents. There are other Old-Hollywood offers, including more from Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor and newer pieces that previously adorned the Bods of Cher, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Victoria Beckham.

Cher’s’ If I Could Time Touring Outfit

Although we would bet that not many people could fit comfortably in this ensemble, it has long been a hot commodity. Cher wore the skin -tight, pure, embellished, spandex and mesh catsuit, which was designed by Bob Mackie, with a leather motorcycle jacket decorated with stones on her ‘The Farewell Tour’ from 2002 when she ‘if I could turn the time back’. It is a recreation of the Mackie piece that Cher in the video of 1989 bore for the song, which let her end up in difficulties with the navy, and a “embarrassed” Mackie denied it to design it because of the extreme exposure. In February, Cher, 78, wore another version of it, also by Mackie, during her SNL50: The Homecoming Concert Performance (the eye of Kevin Costner).

Cher sold the outfit for the first time in 2006 for $ 60,000. The woman who offered at that time was and crashed her car, but insisted that they ‘continue to offer’ on behalf of her. In the years since Cher separated from the original, she actually rented it back to wear during the MTV Video Music Awards 2010 and during her tour in 2014. Nolan said that Cher had exchanged six concert tickets as payment. It was sold again in 2021 for $ 115,200.

“It is my third time that I bring this to the auction, and it doubles every time in price,” said Nolan.

Mackie separates from this four-member Burleske Ensemble-Beha, underwear and bracelets-supported by the pop star. He originally designed it for the production of Las Vegas from 1981 from Anniversary! And Spears later “she borrowed and showed them” for her HBO from 2001 Dream within a dream tour Concertspecial, Nolan said. “It’s timeless and can be worn by a rock star today.”

In her memoirs she called it ‘best tour’, the ‘brilliant’ spirits behind it and is well stylized. The set is expected to sell for between $ 6,000 and $ 8,000.

A striking piece of clothing, however, is the saffron yellow silk chiffon evening jacket from Irene Sharraff embroidered with ibis and snakes that Taylor wore in 1963 Cleopatra. It was one of the 65 costumes that were designed for the screen legend, and she wore it in a scene in which Cleopatra discovered that her lover, played by an on-off real-love Richard Burton, had an affair and she started to put their bed with a knife. De Mantel was modeled by Kim Kardashian in Harper’s Bazaar’s number of March 2011, borrowed from the reality star by Taylor himself. Taylor died that year at the age of 79. The final prize is expected to be between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000.
