Audrey Hepburn in the black garment in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The black Givenchy gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sold at auction Tuesday for $807,000.
The price, paid by a telephone bidder, was almost six times the highest pre-sale estimate.
The iconic garment had been expected to fetch between $98,000 and $138,000 as part of a sale of film and television memorabilia at Christie's auction house in London.
Proceeds from the sale will go to the charity City of Joy Aid, which helps India's poor.
Hepburn wore the dress for one of her best-known roles, as eccentric Manhattan socialite Holly Golightly in the 1961 film adaptation of Truman Capote's novel.
The opening scenes of the film show Golightly in the dress emerging from a taxi on 5th Avenue with her brown-bag breakfast to ogle diamonds and luxury goods in the storefront windows of Tiffany & Co.
Images of Hepburn dressed as Golightly - with gloves, an elaborate pearl choker and trademark cigarette holder- still endure.

奧黛麗·赫本在電影《蒂凡尼的早餐》中所穿的那條紀(jì)梵希黑色長裙于本周二拍出了80.7萬美元的天價。
一名通過電話競拍的買主以拍前最高估價近6倍的價格將其買下。
這件標(biāo)志性的戲服是倫敦克里斯蒂拍賣行所拍的眾多經(jīng)典影視紀(jì)念品中的一件,其拍前估價在9.8萬至13.8萬美元之間。
此次拍賣的全部所得將捐給印度濟貧慈善組織“歡樂之城”。
電影《蒂凡尼的早餐》是1961年根據(jù)杜魯門·卡波特的小說改編的。赫本在片中飾演玩世不恭的曼哈頓交際花霍莉·戈萊特麗,是赫本最著名的角色之一,而這件黑色長裙就是赫本在片中所穿的戲服。
影片開場就是身穿黑色長裙的戈萊特麗從第五街的一輛出租車上緩緩走下來。她站在蒂凡尼珠寶店前,一邊吃著牛皮紙袋中的早餐,一邊充滿期待地凝視著櫥窗里的鉆石和珠寶首飾。
赫本所飾演的這一形象給觀眾留下了深刻印象,她在劇中戴的黑色手套、珍珠項鏈和她用過的招牌煙斗都成為令人難忘的經(jīng)典之物。
