The three-tiered tutu that Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw’ wears in the opening credits of ‘Sex and the City’ sold $52K (Rs 43 lakh) and its original cost was $5 (over Rs 415). The skirt was one of many iconic items included in Julien’s Unstoppable: Signature Styles Iconic Women In Fashion auction. It was also one of the biggest earners and featured items spanning ‘from the Golden Age of Hollywood to today’s trendsetting celebrities and influencers’.

The tulle skirt, a white, three-tier tutu with a satin waistband, was topped only by a velvet cocktail dress worn by Princess Diana, and the Givenchy ensemble Grace Kelly wore to meet President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, both of which sold for $325,000.

The winning bid on Bradshaw’s skirt was one of the auction’s most shocking, as it was estimated to sell for $8,000 to $12,000, as SATC costume designer Patricia Field sourced the piece for just $5 before the HBO series’ 1998 premiere.
