Oh, the Divine Miss M!

What a performer. What a career.

30 million records sold worldwide. An Oscar nomination for her performance in The Rose. Forty years of performing on Broadway, television and concert stages. A 2011 Emmy nomination.

And she's done it all with style.

And this November, Julien's Auctions will auction over 300 items from her life and career including her very first audition dress, dresses worn on her album covers, gorgeous Bob Mackie creations and pieces designed by Pucci and Valentino.

In the auction catalog, Bette says "This is my favorite of any costume I ever wore...It cost all of $10 but for what I was trying to project, it was priceless." It's a beauty and it's expected to fetch $2-3k at the auction.
