Colin Firth’s shirt from Pride and Prejudice has sold for £20,000 at a charity auction¹ in London.

The lucky winner now owns a piece of cinematic history from the BBC series, which saw Firth wearing the shirt as he waltzed across the fields following a dip in the lake during the 1995 TV drama.  Unsurprisingly, the item of clothing surpassed its £7,000 to £10,000 estimate at the 5 March auction.

Elsewhere at the event, a vintage 1950s Christian² Dior ball gown worn by Madonna in 1996’s Evita sold for an impressive £40,000.

Drew Barrymore’s costume as Danielle in the 1998 movie Ever After: A Cinderella Story was sold for £16,000, and overtook its estimate of up to £1,500.

The auction was hosted by Kerry Taylor Auctions³ in London.  It raised a total of £285,300.
