Gowns and ensembles worn by Carol Burnett, Cher and Raquel Welch are going up on the auction block.
The clothing was created by 78-year-old fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie, who has been honored for his work in motion pictures, television and the fashion industry.
Julien’s Auctions says the highlights include two gowns that were worn by Burnett and a pair of Punch and Judy costumes that she and Joel Grey wore on her CBS program.
There’s a hand-painted silk ensemble that Cher wore to the 1974 Academy Awards, along with a gown that Raquel Welch wore.
The exhibition will be displayed aboard the ocean liner Queen Mary 2 on an Aug. 19 trans-Atlantic crossing before the auction takes place in Los Angeles at Julien’s on Nov. 17.
Mackie’s most recent creations are the costumes for “The Cher Show” stage musical, which is in the midst of its pre-Broadway world-premiere run in Chicago.
