The Christian Dior gown Elizabeth Taylor wore to the 1961 Oscars has been missing ever since the eventful night when the actress won the award for Best Actress for her role in “BUtterfield 8.”
She wore the dress, designed by Marc Bohan, with opera-length gloves and diamond and pearl earrings and took then-husband Eddie Fischer as her date.
According to Kerry Taylor Auctions, the meaningful gown was located this summer — more than 60 years later — in a suitcase in London, where Taylor and Richard Burton owned a home and frequently visited.
Close family friend and employee Anne Sanz told the auction house that the dress — which features a pale yellow chiffon bodice with a voluminous white skirt featuring chartreuse embroidery — was only worn once but Taylor regarded it as a “lucky charm” and would carry it with her on her travels.
