Aretha Franklin's costumes to go up for auction

Aretha Franklin's most famous outfits and accessories are to be sold at auction in New York on November 10.

More than 30 of her history-making looks will go on display between November 5 to 9 with highlights including the red sequinned dress she donned on stage at Radio City Hall back in 1991.

The clothing, estimated in value between USD 800 and USD 4,000 per item, includes a red Arnold Scassi dress from a 1991 event at Radio City music hall, a black Oleg Cassini dress from the 1993 Essence Awards and a Judith Ann Plus dress worn at her concert.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, bidders can also win Franklin's pink beaded bustier and skirt from a 1993 AIDS benefit concert, her silver leather jumpsuit by Jean Claude Jitrois and an exclusive denim jacket awarded to The Blues Brothers crew.

"Julien's Auctions is honoured to present this auction event celebrating the tremendous talents, power and grace of America's greatest singer of all time, Aretha Franklin.

"Franklin was also a great fashion legend and this collection of her most show stopping looks demonstrates why she was not only the queen of soul but the queen of style," Julien's Auctions executive director Martin Nolan said in a statement.

The 'Queen of Soul' passed away last month aged 76 and her Detroit-based funeral saw the likes of Stevie Wonder, Barack Obama and Ariana Grande pay their respects.
