Tina Turner. The name alone conjures images of electrifying stage presence, a powerhouse voice, and a wardrobe as audacious as her music. Sadly, the world lost this rock and roll icon on May 24, 2023, but her spirit – and style – continue to inspire us. This is especially true for the countless musicians who have followed in her footsteps, embracing the transformative power of fashion on stage.

Turner was a master of reinvention. From her early days in miniskirts and fringed boots to her later era of glamorous gowns and sequined bodysuits, her outfits were always an extension of her music – bold, defiant, and unforgettable. Unafraid to push boundaries and embrace theatricality, Turner’s style prowess set her apart and cemented her status as a fashion icon.

Julien's Auctions has the privilege of offering a piece of Tina's legacy in our upcoming Music Icons auction: A custom Gianni Versace dress, stage-worn by Tina Turner during her 1996-1997 “Wildest Dreams Tour.”

This ultra-mini crystal mesh Atelier Versace dress is a piece of music history unlike any other, and is not just for the die-hard Tina fan. Anyone who loves high fashion can appreciate this beauty!

Take a page from Tina's style playbook – be bold, be fearless, and let your look tell your story. Join us in celebrating her influence, and discover your own iconic piece, in the Music Icons auction on May 29th and 30th.
