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.”
Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at age 27 of accidental alcohol poisoning.
Proceeds from the event, which took place in Beverly Hills with fans and collectors bidding live in person, on the phone and online, will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was established by the singer’s parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse, to raise awareness and support for young adults with addiction problems.
