Christie's to Auction Screen-Worn 'The Devil Wears Prada' Costumes
Have you seen the movie 'The Devil Wears Prada'?
It tells the story of a young woman who starts working at a fancy fashion magazine.
Her boss is a very strict fashion expert named Miranda Priestly.
People loved the stylish clothes that the actors wore in the movie.
Now, an auction house called Christie's is selling those real movie clothes.
People can bid online from anywhere to buy them.
You might win the famous blue sweater that the main character wore.
You could even buy a dress that still has a tiny food stain from the movie!
All the money raised will help two important groups that support journalists and new fashion designers.
Christie's is auctioning screen-worn costumes and accessories from the film 'The Devil Wears Prada.'
Highlights include Miranda Priestly's Dries Van Noten tassel jacket, a Schiaparelli blazer, and signed prototype red Valentino Rockstud pumps.
Andy Sachs's Gabriela Hearst dress, still bearing its accidental food stain, is also up for bids.
The online auction runs September 1-15, with a free public exhibition at Christie's New York from September 8-13.
Proceeds support the Committee to Protect Journalists and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
