Kate Moss has basically been modeling since she was a fetus, so it's no surprise that old modeling pics keep turning up every few years.

The latest crop are from photographer David Ross who had kept the negatives of a photoshoot he had with the supermodel when she was just 14 in a drawer for years.

The photog finally got around to developing the pics recently, and now they are going to be auctioned off by Bloomsbury at a starting price of £1,200 each (approx. $1,860).

Start saving now, Kate Moss fans!

Ross also describes what it was like working with the first-timer. He said:

"She wasn't forward or confident at all. I took three rolls of films. The first roll was just to see how Kate responded to the camera and she was a natural. I didn't think there was any commercial potential in them because she looked so raw in them. The other pictures looked far more commercial and they helped launch her career. I enjoyed photographing her because she had quite angular bones. She looked so young. But these pictures portray her at the absolute threshold of her life changing forever."

Lesson to all photographers out there: Don't ever throw away your negatives!

What, no Manolos?!?!

Sarah Jessica Parker is putting three pairs of shoes she wore as Carrie on Sex and the City up for auction, and even though they're a pair of Prada platforms, Dolce Vita pumps, and Jonathan Kelsey sandals, Miz Bradshaw was best known for her Manolo Blahnik fixation.

Would it have killed SJP to put just one pair of those iconic, single-soled pumps in the auction as well?

Well, we'll take what we can get, and the fact that proceeds from the sales will go to benefit LaGuardia High School for Music, Art and the Performing Arts in NYC is more than enough reason to buy!

Each pair has been signed and authenticated, and bidding starts at only $100!

When we heard that Princess Diana’s dresses were going up for auction again, we knew they’d go for a pretty penny.

And they DID!

All ten of the dresses auctioned off at Kerry Taylor Auctions on Tuesday raked in a whopping $1,209,120.

The best seller in the lot was the Victor Edelstein gown Princess Di wore when she danced with John Travolta at the White House, which fetched $362,736.

If you’ve recently come into a ton of money, and love Princess Diana, then listen up!

The Fit for a Princess auction will take place on March 19th and will include some of Di's most iconic gowns, including the velvet Victor Edelstein she wore while dancing with John Travolta at the White House.

A woman’s wedding dress is one of her most cherished things, but Hugh Hefner’s new wife, Crystal Harris is ready to part with hers.

The Playmate is auctioning her Romona Keveza Couture gown and shoes, with proceeds benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in honor of Mary O’Connor, Hef’s assistant who recently passed away.

Crystal credits Mary with helping the couple reconcile, so she wanted to do this special thing in her memory.

The gown is currently going for $1,000, but is estimated to be worth $7,500.

We're glad she was thoughtful enough to put it towards a very good cause!
