Those with deep enough pockets can get their hands on one-of-a-kind pieces while supporting Angelenos in need this month during Give a Frock L.A. Celebrity stylist Lindsey Hartman has joined forces with Julien’s Auctions to auction off iconic onstage, onscreen and red-carpet styles—as well as designer fashion and signed memorabilia—all to benefit Los Angeles wildfire aid. All proceeds will be shared between Altadena Girls, Friends in Deed, One Voice and Pasadena Humane Society.
The auction, which launched in conjunction with last week’s G*VE A F*CK L.A. benefit, includes items from many of those artists (Hayley Williams, Juliette Lewis, Phantom Planet), as well as many looks worn by both performers and winners at the recent Grammy Awards.
Some standouts: Chappell Roan’s costume from her “HOT TO GO!” music video, a separate stage-worn ensemble and a pair of Marc Jacobs platform boots the singer wore in Rolling Stone. All three items worn by the “best new artist” Grammy winner are going for significantly higher than predicted—in particular the music video getup, which is valued at $1,000 to $2,000 but has a current bid of $10,000.

Currently the most in-demand item seems to be a beautiful guitar owned by none other than Dave Grohl—an Epiphone DG-335 in Pelham Blue whose face is covered with the Foo Fighters frontman’s handwritten lyrics to “Rescued” and “These Days,” as well as his signature. The current bid stands at $22,500.
Other hot items include Sabrina Carpenter’s blue Alaia dress from her “Please Please Please” music video (current bid: $9,000); Billie Eilish’s yellow drop earrings from the music video for “What Was I Made For?” ($1,500); and three personalized Adidas tracksuits worn onstage by the Beastie Boys in 2004 ($10,000). Of interest to movie and TV fans: two jackets worn by Stephanie Hsu in Everything Everywhere All at Once, a Prada puffer coat signed and worn by Jeff Goldblum in Search Party; and Adam McKay’s racing suit from Talladega Nights.
But unless you have what amounts to a small down payment on a house lying around, most of these items will probably be a bit out of your price range. So is there anything more accessible on offer? Well, there are a few more affordable (read: under $500) options that are still pretty impressive. You might be able to spring for pieces from Avril Lavigne’s tour wardrobe ($250 and up), Sandra Oh’s 2020 Oscar party gown ($200), a fun red plexiglass hat worn by Cyndi Lauper ($250) or St. Vincent’s “323” shirt the Grammy winner wore during the awards ceremony’s opening performance of “I Love L.A.” ($450).
You can browse (and bid) on the entire collection here. Bidding is open online now through February 25, when a live auction that decides the winners will be held at 10am at Julien’s Auctions (13007 S Western Ave, Gardena).
