Bette Midler donates 40 years worth of costumes to auction for New York Restoration Project
|
The proceeds from Bette Midler's auction will benefit her charity, New York Restoration Project.
Bette Midler is cleaning out her closet - for a good cause. The Divine Miss M is donating costumes, jewelry and keepsakes from her 40-year career for an auction to benefit her city-greening charity.
The Valentino gown she wore to the 1992 Oscars, a jumpsuit she wore on her 1979 Divine Madness tour and her famous mermaid costume are among the items going on the block.
A pair of crystal platform shoes worn on the cover of a remix LP has a presale estimate of $500 to $700.
"These were given to me by Cher in the early 1970s," Midler wrote in the catalog.
"They were sensational, but a bit hard to walk in without falling down, so I put them on display in my house. Visitors were mesmerized."
A burgundy knit wool dress from Bobbie Brooks, which could fetch $800 or more, was worn by Midler during her first winter in New York.
