MY FAIR LADY (1964) - Eliza Doolittle's (Audrey Hepburn) Boots - Eliza Doolittle's (Audrey Hepburn) boots from George Cukor's My Fair Lady. As part of her lessons, Professor Higgins (Rex Harrison) had Eliza cleaned and dressed up as she endured his harsh teaching methods which included wearing a fashionable pair of heeled boots.

Originating from Christie's June 1996 auction, this lot consists of a pair of Edwardian-styled black kid leather high top lace-up boots with a low spooled heel. They feature a decorative scalloped stitch bordering the laces, which appears most prominently in the sequences where Eliza sits down and crosses her legs in the small study room during "Just You Wait." The bottom of the boots have intentional production-made scoring on the bottom sole to allow for better traction while dancing. This lot exhibits scuffing and creasing on the toe-box, as well as a buildup of grime on the bottom soles and mild discoloration on the laces.

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
