Kennedy, sold at an auction for a record-breaking $4.8 million in 2016. The $4.8 million bid edged out the previous most expensive dress ever sold at an auction: Monroe’s white costume from The Seven Year Itch, which sold for $4.6 million in 2011. Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” bought the “Happy Birthday” dress to display it at one of their museums. “We believe this is the most iconic piece of pop culture that there is,” Ripley’s vice president Edward Meyer said after the museum chain won the auction. “In the 20th century I cannot think of one single item that tells the story of the 1960s as well as this dress. It’s a new world record for a dress.” The dress is also remembered for featuring in one of Monroe’s final public appearances before her August 1962 death, three months after singing at Kennedy’s 45th birthday gala.」4月11日 5時16分
