If you├óΓé¼Γäóve always wanted to walk down the aisle in Elizabeth Taylor‘s wedding dress, then you├óΓé¼Γäóre in luck!
Next month, Christie’s is auctioning off the very first wedding gown Liz ever wore when she tied the knot with Conrad Hilton Jr. on May 6, 1950 at the tender age of 18.
Created by costume designer Helen Rose and gifted to the legendary actress from MGM, the shell-white satin gown is embellished with seed pearls and bugle beads, boasts a 15-yard train and features a built-in corset to give Taylor a 20 inch waist.
Wowsers!!!
The wedding gown is expected to fetch at least $75,175 when it hits the auction block on June 26th in London, but based on previous Elizabeth Taylor auctions, we wouldn’t be surprised if it sold for MUCH more than that.
And if you can’t get your hands on Elizabeth’s first gown, don’t worry! She walked down the aisle 7 other times, so it’s only a matter of time before they hit the auction block too.
