Madonna donned the garment during her performance of Hanky Panky and Now I'm Following You at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on August 1, 1990.
London:
Madonna's famous conical corset bra is expected to fetch ?15,000 at auction today (29.11.12).
The Jean Paul Gaultier-designed green silk bustier with conical cups - which the Girl Gone Wild hitmaker wore on her 1990 Blond Ambition tour - is going under the hammer at Christie's auction house in South Kensington, south west London.
The now 54-year-old singer donned the garment - which also features peppermint bugle beads, with clustered sequins and beads at cups and hip line - during her performance of Hanky Panky and Now I'm Following You at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on August 1, 1990.
A black Lycra two-piece, which she wore while performing her 1990 hit Vogue in the stadium, is expected to go for up to ?12,000 in the sale of pop culture items.
The stage costume is made up of a black satin bustier costume with top-stitched conical cups complete with a black custom-made all in one suit, and Lycra shorts stitched to a mesh bodice.
A number of Marilyn Monroe prints are also going under the hammer in the sale including a silver print worth up to ?2,500 and a 1955 calendar featuring a colour reproduction of a nude portrait of Marilyn by Tom Kelley, which is expected to fetch up to ?1,200.
One Madonna fan who might like to bid for Madonna's iconic 'Blond Ambition' tour costume is British model Daisy Lowe, who is a big fan of the garment and used to attempt to copy the singer's look when she was younger.
She said: "My biggest fashion obsession is Jean Paul Gaultier. I remember first seeing Madonna's conical bra, when I was about 12, and grabbing party hats to copy it. His clothes are so feminine and powerful."
