Amy Winehouse's iconic Back to Black album cover dress is to go up for auction tomorrow alongside items worn by the late Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Princess Diana's replica wedding shoes.
Amy's dress is expected to reach upwards of £20,000 with proceeds going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
The Passion for Fashion auction starts at 2pm tomorrow (Tuesday November 29th) at the Royal Opera Arcade in London with preview pictures from La Galleria being released today.

The chiffon dress was worn by Amy in 2006 and is printed with bands of graduated dark-red polkadots and a puff-ball skirt. It comes with a letter of authenticity signed by the designer.
Proceeds from the auction of Amy's dress will go towards her charitable foundation.
Auction house assistant Lucy Bishop is seen putting the finishing touches to other pieces up for sale – one of which is the dress worn by Audrey Hepburn to collect her Oscar in 1954 which is expected to fetch up to £60,000.
The so-called ‘Celebrity Section' includes a replica of the wedding shoes Princes Diana wore on her wedding day in 1981 as well as the Linda Cierach replica of the bridal gown worn by Sarah Ferguson in 1986.
Elizabeth Taylor's Balenciaga sari gown is expected to reach up to £50,000.
Kate Middleton's see-through dress -thought to have sparked the royal romance of the century - went under the hammer at Kerry Taylor Auctions back in March and sold for a staggering £78,000.
Kate famously wore the Charlotte Todd dress during a St. Andrews University fashion show back in 2002.
