MARILYN'S DRESS BREAKS AUCTION RECORD

A black cocktail dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1958 was up for auction at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills yesterday. The dress was expected to be sold between $20,000 to $30,000 but the final price ended at $348,000, which is a record-breaking amount for the auction house.

The dress was a part of the Hollywood Legends auction, which ran from May 7th to May 8th. Marilyn's swimsuit was also up for auction with a winning bid coming to $84,000 and Audrey Hepburn's straw hat from Funny Face went for $15,350. Elizabeth Taylor's throne in Cleopatra sold for $7,040.
