Lady Gaga must’ve REALLY liked this Alexander McQueen design: she reportedly has paid the largest amount ever for one of them. British socialite Daphne Guinness auctioned off many of her outfits at Christie’s in London, and some of the outfits she offered were Alexander McQueen designs. Lady Gaga is said to have bid $136,400 on the phone, which won her the dress (as you can imagine!) She bought a 2008 ivory silk gown, called ‘The Girl Who Lived In The Tree’, according to Britain’s Associated Press. Daphne thanked everyone who participated.
“I’m overwhelmed by how many bidders took part … and I’m particularly moved by Lady GaGa’s support for the foundation. I like her very much, and it’s lovely to see the nascent beginnings of something that may help other people.”
The auction was a benefit for the Isabella Blow Foundation, which was set up in memory of the late Alexander McQueen. It raised $747,200 total. Well, it was for a great cause, and I’m sure the gown is lovely.
