Story summary

Personal belongings of late French actress and singer Brigitte Bardot fetched nearly €1 million ($1.15 million) at a four-day auction in Paris ending on Monday, surpassing the initial estimate by almost 20 times. Over 285 items, including Repetto ballet flats, diamond rings, straw hats, sunglasses, and furniture from her homes in Saint-Tropez and Paris, were sold to raise money for her animal charity foundation and her son Nicolas-Jacques Charrier. The auction drew around 15,000 visitors who viewed the items over six days before the sale. Bardot, known as a sex symbol of the 1950s and later an outspoken animal rights activist, died at age 91 in December 2025. Her final husband Bernard d'Ormale, now living in a council flat after being disinherited by her will, criticized the sale for stripping her bare.
