Hepburn Cocktail Dress a 'Steal' For £60,000
The Chantilly Lace Outfit, by Hepburn's favorite designer Hubert de Givenchy, was among dozens of her dresses, hats, belts and letters being sold.
A satin Bridal gown for a wedding called off by Hepburn in 1952, when the late star was 23, sold for £ 13.800.
Some £ 268.320 was raised in the auction at La Galleria in central London, with half the proceeds going to charity.
The Givenchy dress was worn by Hepburn in a scene set in the bar of London's Ritz Hotel in How to Steal a Million.
The Oscar-winning actress, who died in 1993, starred opposite Peter O'Toole in the crime romance.
In 2007, a cocktail dress worn by Hepburn in the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's sold in the U.S. for almost £ 100,000.
