Madonna’s Material Girl Dress Sold by Julien’s Auctions for $287,500

Madonna’s Material Girl Dress and accessories, worn in her famous 1985 music video, sold for $287,500 today as part of the Music Icons collection by Julien’s Auctions. The auction house previously sold the dress by itself for $73,125 in 2014.

The historical items consist of a pink satin dress with bustier top and oversized pink satin bow, a white fox fur stole from Edwards-Lowell of Beverly Hills, a pair of pink satin opera gloves, and three rhinestone bracelets. The look was a nod to Marilyn Monroe’s performance of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” from the classic musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Twentieth Century Fox, 1953). Julien’s Auctions lists the outfit as one that has endured as Madonna’s most iconic looks.

Julien’s Auctions has sold other Madonna items, including the original wedding dress she wore to marry actor Sean Penn in 1985, as well as the Desperately Seeking Susan jacket, and other iconic outfits she wore in the movie Evita, and on The Who’s that Girl Tour. The personal items fetched over $500,000 at an auction in Beverly Hills (The highest lot was the Desperately Seeking Susan jacket, which fetched $252,000).

Other items sold included her ivory satin halter gown worn in her 1990 “Vogue” music video, which sold for $179,200. Her “Material Girl” hot pink charmeuse silk headband with bow embellishment sold for $28,125, which went for 14 times its original estimate. – Source
