Cher is renowned for her jewellery-encrusted costumes
|
Possessions belonging to singer and actress Cher have been sold at an auction in Los Angeles.
Items that came under the hammer in Beverly Hills included her rhinestone costumes and a pair of fur boots which belonged to ex-husband Sonny Bono.
Some gowns sold for more than their estimated $6,000 (£3,200). A 1970s record player fetched $1,400 (£745).
The sale is expected to raise $1m for charity, while Cher will use some proceeds to renovate her home.
'Doesn't care'
She is replacing the Gothic decorations of her Malibu mansion in favour of a Moroccan-Tibetan look.
A long-standing fan of the performer, Chris Gayton from Palm Springs in California, said: "I thought it would be interesting to have some pieces of her memorabilia.
"She does what she wants to do and doesn't care what people think."
