The ivory
lace gown that Audrey Hepburn wore to collect her Oscar for Best Actress for Roman Holiday is up for auction.
The dress
was adapted from a costume that legendary studio designer Edith Head created
for Hepburn's character in the film. Considered her breakout role, Hepburn's
portrayal of a runaway princess won her her first - and only - Academy Award in
1954.
The frock
has been valued at £40,000 - £60,000 and will go under the hammer on November
29 by Kerry Taylor Auctions . Its last sale of Hepburn's dresses in 2009 raised
over £270,000. The auction house also oversaw the sale of the sheer dress,
which the Duchess of Cambridge wore to her university fashion show, for £78,000
in April.
