A dazzling 2-piece gown featuring a black stretch velvet long evening skirt and an elaborate gold and black beaded bustier with attached neck collar that was owned and performance-worn by the international music superstar Whitney Houston; dating from the mid-to-late '90s timeframe and likely worn as part of her 1994 "Bodyguard" Tour or her 1999 "My Love is Your Love" Tour. While unlabeled, this costume is confirmed by Paul Margolin, President of Marc Bouwer, to originate from his famed design house. Whitney Houston was cited in 2009 as the most awarded female act of all time and is certainly regarded as one of the world's most successful music artists, having sold over 200 million records worldwide. Originally sold at the January, 2007 court-ordered liquidation auction of Whitney's items in storage conducted by the A.J. Wilmer Auction House in Irvington, New Jersey. A truly beautiful costume in near mint condition.

If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer's discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer.
