The designer outfit is one of many prized items of music memorabilia set to go under the hammer at the MusiCares Charity Auction, hosted by Julien’s Auctions next month.

A bomber jacket belonging to Sir Tom Jones — made from black velvet and with "Tom" embroidered in gold — is also expected to generate more than £3,000.

Meanwhile, clothes worn on stage by Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne are set to go for somewhere between £4,600 and £6,100, while a Fender California Coast ukulele signed by Billie Eilish has been given a predicted price-tag of between £1,500 and £3,000.
