Natalie Portman's Dior dress at 2012 Oscars sells for $50,000

Huwaaatt?

Yes, you read it right, Natalie Portman's Christian Dior 2012 Oscar dress was sold at $50,000 at an auction in London recently, someone who’s identity was not disclosed, probably someone who’s really crazy about things of antiquity had shelled out a sum enough to shock me off, yes a whooping P2M and plus was said to be paid for this real vintage 1954 Christian Dior's spring/summer collection, it was created at the height of the couturier's career and said to be just three years before his ill-timed death.

I wonder if my mom’s vintage - not a Dior, she has an ‘aparador-full’ of old, very old gowns actually, just don’t have the courage to wear one, can also be sold at this price? Perhaps if it’s worn by an Angelina Jolie, probably in an Oscars somewhere in my second life … hahaha!
