Julien’s Auctions announced the latest curation of its celebrity and luxury fashion category, “Unstoppable: Signature Styles of Iconic Women in Fashion,” a stunning collection of iconic high-profile fashion looks designed by the most legendary names and houses in luxury and couture fashion and worn by the most glamourous stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood as well as today’s trendsetting celebrities and influencers, who are defining modern luxury. 

Dazzling and rare high fashion pieces owned and worn by legendary style icons, such as Princess Diana, Princess Grace of Monaco, Audrey Hepburn, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Joan Collins, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga, and Paris Hilton, and designed by the likes of Givenchy, Yves Saint-Laurent, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, and more, whose creations not only immortalized the women as the world’s most admired and photographed in the world but defined eras in fashion and the evolution of celebrity style, will be offered. 

Take, for instance, Princess Grace Kelly’s 1961 Givenchy ensemble, which she wore to the White House to meet President Kennedy. No other woman personified Hollywood royalty more than Grace Kelly. As one of the most stylish and legendary stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, the Academy Award-winning actress left Hollywood when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 and stepped into her next and most famous role as Princess Grace of Monaco. One of her garments from this style chapter in her life is this 1961 Givenchy ensemble 

Also on the block is Princess Diana’s 1985 Catherine Walker black silk velvet cocktail dress. The Princess of Wales broke the rules of royal fashion during her reign of era-defining style, personal looks, and fashion statements. An example is this dress created by Walker, one of the Diana’s favorite designers and close collaborators. This dress she wore to a private event features an off-shoulder neckline, a princess-seamed bodice with boning, and bias-cut ivory satin accents sewn at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. Walker created Princess Diana’s most famous garments for 16 years, whose designs are still worn by many royals today, including Kate Middleton, the current Princess of Wales. This dress is estimated at $100,000 to $200,000.

And then there’s Sarah Jessica Parker’s Sex And The City opening credits tutu. From one of television’s most “Unstoppable” female characters, Carrie Bradshaw, comes one of her most iconic fashion staples that became a pop culture symbol—her tutu skirt. The oyster white tulle three-tier tutu skirt with a matching satin waistband worn by Parker in her Emmy award-winning role in the opening credits of the HBO series during its entire run from 1997 to 2004 was styled by fashion legend Patricia Field. The iconic skirt was purchased by Field, who found it while shopping for the series in New York’s garment district in a five-dollar bin. Parker’s character was originally going to wear a spring 1998 Marc Jacobs runway dress (seen on Kate Moss) in the opening credits, but Fields wanted to style her in something that wasn’t specific to the time so it wouldn’t date fashion-wise. After working with Sarah Jessica Parker previously on the film Miami Rhapsody, Field was specially asked by Parker to costume the series whose heralded collaboration produced the much talked about and signature Sex and the City style that made Parker and her fellow castmates Cynthia Rhodes, Kristen Davis, and Kim Cattrall worldwide fashion sensations. Estimates for this tutu run between $8,000 and $12,000.

At the Julien’s online auction slated on Jan. 18, you have the chance to win any of these iconic, historic fashion pieces, along with the 1970 Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche dress worn by Audrey Hepburn to her son’s christening, the Louis Verdad dress worn by Paris Hilton on the cover of her Paris music album, the 1951 A Place in the Sun era blouse worn by Elizabeth Taylor, and the Burberry London gold trench worn by Whitney Houston on stage at a concert in Morocco in 2008.
