The reality TV star, Kim Kardashian has purchased a custom velvet jacket worn by Michael Jackson to Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday party in 1997 as a Christmas present for her 6-year-old daughter.
Kim on purchasing the item said; “North is a really big Michael Jackson fan and we knew she would love this,” Kardashian, 39, said on her Instagram story. “We won this on an auction for Northie for Christmas.”
Kardashian made the winning bid of $65,625 (N23,723,437) at the auction held by Julien’s Auctions in October, according to E! News. It was only expected to sell for between $10,000 and $20,000, Julien’s said ahead of the auction.
Some alterations were made to the jacket so that it could fit North now. The body and sleeves can be lengthened again as she grows up.
The jacket was also won by the pop star to the screening of his movie “Ghosts”, was designed by Jackson’s longtime fashion collaborators Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush and features a vine motif, white stones, pearls, and rhinestone tassels, according to Julien’s.
North is already starting a wardrobe that other stars would be envious of, including a $10,000 Hermès Birkin bag.
