This year, Elizabeth Taylor’s legendary ‘Green Goddess’ Rolls Royce, her iconic Oscar gown, and other treasures from her collection will be up for auction.

Acclaimed actress and fashion icon Elizabeth Taylor’s personal belongings are set to take center stage at two major auction events this year. Fans and collectors alike will have the chance to bid on rare pieces from her illustrious estate.

The first auction, organized by Guernsey's, will take place on August 6 at New York City’s Pierre Hotel, where Taylor once resided with her then-husband Eddie Fisher. Among the highlights is her 1960 Rolls Royce, famously known as the “Green Goddess,” a vehicle she acquired shortly after marrying Fisher and retained even after her relationship with Richard Burton began. Additional items include a pale pink satin clutch adorned with diamond rhinestones, designed by Christian Louboutin in the early 2000s, and a striking green silk evening dress by Gianni Versace from the 1990s, featuring short sleeves and a front bow.

Julien’s Auctions is teaming up with House of Taylor, the entity managing Taylor’s estate, for a second auction event running from December 6 to 8 at Beverly Hills’ Standard Oil Building. The auction showcases an extensive collection of items from top designers like Dior, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, and others, alongside jewelry, wigs, artwork, and household goods from her global residences. Standout fashion pieces include the pale blue Edith Head gown she wore to the 1974 Academy Awards, a leopard-print pantsuit from the 1970 film The Only Game in Town, a white floral caftan donned during a photoshoot with David Bowie, and a Versace leather biker jacket she sported on The Johnny Carson Show. The collection also features Pratesi bathroom linens, Cartier napkin rings, monogrammed Stallion cowboy boots, and luxurious silk Persian rugs.

Prior to the December auction, the collection will be displayed aboard the Queen Mary 2, the Cunard cruise ship departing from Southampton, UK, on October 18 and arriving in New York City on October 25. Passengers will have the exclusive chance to bid on a curated selection of items from Taylor’s estate.

Beyond her legendary roles in iconic films such as 1958’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 1963’s Cleopatra, and 1966’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Taylor was equally celebrated for her seven marriages and her tireless advocacy in the fight against AIDS, founding The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991.

The pieces featured in both auctions capture the essence of Taylor, a true Hollywood legend whose glamour, elegance, and charisma defined the golden age of cinema for over 50 years. “Taylor was a monumental figure, a once-in-a-lifetime star who personified Hollywood’s allure and sophistication in a way no other celebrity has matched—or likely ever will,” remarked Darren Julien, president and CEO of Julien’s Auctions, in a statement.
