For the next two weeks, Christie’s is giving you a key to open the door into one of the most fascinating lives in American history. This would be a woman who stopped people on the streets from her timeless beauty, who became the Queen of Hollywood and who also happened to have the most fabulous collection of jewels. I could only wish to be half as fantastic as Elizabeth Taylor…
“I haven’t lived a quiet life. I’ve lived dangerously.” – Elizabeth Taylor
When I heard that Christie’s was housing all of her timeless pieces to show the public before an upcoming auction, there was no question whether or not I would be making the time to go! Unfortunately, they don’t allow pictures inside {I tried my best to get a sneak peek for y’all with my iPhone!}.
Fell head over heels for this black taffeta sack back cocktail dress {Lot 326}…
I was blown away by all of the detailed and polished clothes she had in her wardrobe. So glam!
She had a Chanel collection that was actually to die for! All of her pieces were taken care of so well that they looked as if the exquisite quilt had just been stitched.
This screen legend kept everything. From her scripts all the way to her movie star set chairs!
Elizabeth was a one of a kind gem that all men went crazy over, and she was always surrounded by gorgeous jewels that her suitors purchased for her true love.
One of my favorite jewelry pieces was this fabulous diamond and cultured pearl bracelet by House of Taylor! Although, the bomb was the gigantic diamond ring given to Elizabeth from Richard Burton {Lot 80} or the Mike Todd diamond Tiara {Lot 79}.
All in all, she was a child star, who became a screen legend, who turned into the Queen of Hollywood, and who is now a humanitarian legacy. She is an iconic life to never be forgotten. You too can own a piece of her fabulous life by bidding at the main auction on December 13th or on the more than 1,000 costume pieces under $100 on the online auction from December 13-17. Lets all put a little sparkle in our life!
