audrey hepburn in breakfast at tiffany'sCall us obsessed, we don't mind, for it is the dress that launched a global wardrobe of LBDs. We mentioned earlier this summer that the black Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's would be up for auction, then were hyped about it as the auction day drew near. Today, we have found that the dress sold at Christie's for almost six times the pre-sale estimates, bringing in $807,000 from a call-in bidder. The proceeds will go to a charity called City of Joy Aid, which helps the needy in India.

While the sale price sets the record for a dress associated with a movie, but still did not beat a dress worn by a celeb, which is the white dress that Marilyn Monroe wore singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to JFK. That baby brought in $1.27 million.
