The Marilyn Monroe style dress Madonna wore in the video for 'material Girl' is set to go up for auction in London.
The pink gown, costume jewellery and fake fur stole will all go under the hammer, the dress expected to fetch over 140 thousand US dollars.
The music video recreated a scene from Marilyn Monroe's 'gentlemen Prefer Blondes' and many believe it catapulted Madonna from singer to superstardom.
Other items expected to go up for auction include a Beatles' drum skin, the lyrics written to the Jackson 5's ABC and a guitar owned by Elvis Presley.

April 29 (Bloomberg) -- Marc Newson’s “Lockheed Lounge” aluminum chair, once used by Madonna in a video clip, will be among the lots providing London auction houses’ first test of the market for “design art” in 2009.
The futuristic riveted lounger was featured in the 1993 video of the star’s single “Rain,” said the Phillips de Pury auction house. It is expected to fetch as much as 700,000 pounds ($1 million) tomorrow.
