Julien explained:

“Interest in collectibles related to Houston has skyrocketed since her death on Feb. 11… Most of the items sold Saturday as part of the Hollywood Legends series were provided by the Grammy winner’s friends and family in the weeks since she died. What we have is all we’re going to have from Whitney Houston. That makes her memorabilia sought after by high end collectors and fans.”

More items from Whitney Houston, including 30 dresses, will be auctioned off this June as part of Julien’s Music Icon’s series.
