Props go wild

Accessorised with pearls, a cigarette holder and its wearer’s doe-eyed charm, Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress in Breakfast At Tiffany’s is one of cinema’s most iconic garments.

Yesterday it became the most expensive, selling at auction for £410,000 as the star attraction in a record-breaking sale of film and entertainment memorabilia at Christie’s in Kensington, West London. . .

Among the 276 other lots was James Bond’s first gun, the Walther PPK used by Sean Connery in Dr No, which sold for £54,000 and the hideous reindeer jumper worn by Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy for a particularly embarrassing Christmas party scene in Bridget Jones’ Diary. It fetched £1,080.
