A Socialite's Estate Sale that Demands Attention

[@charisselinnellmorton6172]

This Woman lived! You can tell that she had a fascinating life ....every decade is filled with vibrant colors and amazing finds!

[@lkofie6670]

AGREED...EXACTLY how I would like to be and in essence what I'm doing.

[@danielledenis9863]

I seriously hope that this fabulous lady's family knows the amount of pure joy she's brought to every viewer, you can tell a lot from a women's closet and I know she was a hoot and I wish I could have known her!

It would have been nice to reveal some history of the owner (why the eccentric clothing - her style, career, designer??) and view images of her wearing some of the clothing.

she was a french supermodel and one of the early muses for givenchy.....was also engaged to a Pakistani Prince (he died in a car accident before the wedding

I wish a book would be made of this womans history and at least 200 of the articles of clothing, followed up by a book on her jewelry, followed up by a book on her decor. She was beautiful with the most interesting, artistic eye.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

This woman’s life must have been such an adventure. She seemed to have lived, TRULY lived, and looked fabulous doing it. What a wonderful gift and legacy she has left for her niece.

[@SheWhoWalksWithLucifer]

Doris' genuine reaction to the blue fringe boots is priceless! I would have been excited, too. So cute.

[@parisalan1]

I suspect the late socialite was much more interesting than the contents of her closet...too bad we won't know her story

She actually is extremely rude! I contacted her about vintage chanel, dior, etc. High end fashion dating back to 1920 and she was so rude. My great grandmother and grandmother gowns thousands of dollars.

[@genageeraert8039]

I’m obsessed with this show. It’s a fashion lovers dream

[@michaeldugenia4091]

That closet is a drag queen's dream closet! I say it with the utmost respect and admiration for the range of clothes. I just wonder how many times she went out for a function to wear all of those fabulous frocks. Love it!!!

[@patriciasmith7074]

Michael Dugenia Or was she like my mother who thought she was incredibly stylish but was in reality a short buxom little lady in glasses with a bubble hair style that was so short waisted it was sad because of where her chest was. She would buy things like jeweled black suede high heeled cowboy boots that she has never worn. Many things hang in her closet with the tags still on them. One day I went over there and she was about 76 and she had just opened a package that had just came that was an ankle bracelet with huge turquoise gemstone charms all the way around and I had a fit and I said she would look ridiculous, well I made her mad that day, she didn’t like being criticized but nobody was wearing ankle bracelets especially like that. It would have looked nice on a young Hawaiian girl in a sarong with tan legs and bare feet. But not an old woman. But the pictures of this woman in her house looked very glamorous.

[@knogne5073]

[@slydoll7877]

That was my guess...around 70 grand.

[@KTolai]

I'm guessing between $800k to 2 million. The Azzaro piece is at least $4k, so with 3 racks of high end clothing, jewelry, plus accessories; the generous offer is pretty high.

[@carinabella3393]

Curvy Diva I think I read somewhere that her name was “Ardiana” and she was a model for Dior.

[@carinabella3393]

Curvy Diva I saw another possible name in the comments as well ... Grazyna Maduff. I believe the person who posted that name may be from the same neighbourhood originally so hopefully it’s legit. If I find anything via Google, will update you!

[@carinabella3393]

Darn, can’t find a thing really. Using the Maduff name, a Google search yields her suing a life insurance company after her husband died. Allegedly they took too long to pay out the $2 m settlement and I think she was successful in that matter. As far as the other name, can’t find a thing when I search with the Dior connection. No images found for either. Someone else in comments said that she wasn’t a socialite and that the show said it to play up the intrigue.

[@neko_mewkawaii7120]

[@DragonHeir92]

I go to estate sales often and by the time any shoppers get there, the family has already long decided what to keep. Some professional sellers require the family not be present at the sale to avoid awkward interactions with collectors or business owners (like Doris) who will analyze items through a profit gain/loss lens. And this is TV, they’re thinking out loud for a camera.
