“It’s one of the most historic and iconic pieces of Madonna… very few items that are this iconic of hers are in the public domain,” Julien’s Auctions founder and chief executive officer Darren Julien said.
The dress was originally made for the television movie Norma Jean. It was only rented from the Palace Costume and Prop Company for Madonna’s use in her music video.
Julien’s Auctions has previously sold items from Madonna’s career.
These include the hot pink charmeuse silk headband with bow embellishment also from the “Material Girl” music video ($28,125), ivory satin halter gown in the Vogue music video ($179,200), and the singer’s MTV VMA Moonman Award for Best Female Video for “Papa Don’t Preach” ($22,400).
