MUMBAI: The red dress that Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) wore in Titanic has fetched $ 330,000 at a Hollywood auction.
The ‘Drama, Action, Romance - The Hollywood Auction‘ was witness to some contemporary memorabilia fetch eye-popping prices during the weekend, it is reported.
The exquisite red chiffon dress was designed by Deborah L Scott and took more than 1,000 hours to sew. This costume featured in one of the most memorable scenes of the film when Rose and Jack meet for the first time on the windswept deck of the Titanic.
It was originally sold by clothier J Peterman in 1998, the year after the hit film released.
Auctioneer Profiles in History described the dress was the only screen-used jump dress in private hands.
The top seller during the auction was the bow used by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) in the Lord of the Rings trilogy that sold for $ 372,000. The presale high estimate was $120,000. Orlando Bloom used the brown-painted composite plastic bow made in Weta‘s New Zealand workshop in all three films.
A screen-used X-Wing model from the first Star Wars movie in 1977 sold for $ 270,000 more than twice its high estimate of $ 120,000.
