Jerry auctions off Jagger dress
Jerry Hall has let go of the dress she married Mick Jagger in 18 years ago and declared: "I hope someone else has more luck than I did."
The model is selling 71 items from her vast wardrobe to raise money for a homeless charity.
The tight white lace wedding dress with its scalloped sweetheart neckline is expected to be the star lot.
But Hall, whose marriage was annulled in 1999, said she did not find it difficult to let go of the creation, designed by Antony Price.
Rolling Stone Sir Mick's lawyers declared that the Bali wedding was not legally binding.
Hall said: "It being annulled made it a lot easier to get rid of the dress. I'm hoping someone else will have more luck than I did. It feels great."
She added: "My daughter Georgia (16) wants me to buy back some of my clothes at the auction for her. But I'm not going to buy back my old clothes, I'm not doing that."
The wedding dress, which is expected to fetch between £300 and £500, comes with a photograph of the model and actress wearing the garment and standing next to Sir Mick at the ceremony.
Hall is also auctioning a Japanese silk wedding kimono given to her by Sir Mick as a wedding present.
She said she had not spoken to her ex in advance about her decision to sell his gifts, adding: "It was really good getting all the clothes out and making room for things that actually fit. I was so thin then.
"All the clothes bring back so many memories. Right now I'm in a very good phase. I'm not really doing much except working on my autobiography.
"I think how lucky I am to have my children. I'm getting my priorities straight, what's really important in life."
Other items in the sale include a Dolce and Gabbana jewelled bra, a black corset, a Vivienne Westwood bubble dress, a scarlet evening gown, a faux leopard skin dress Hall wore in a Bovril ad and a brown mink and fox fur full length cape.
Anyone wanting to buy the items for themselves would need a 26in waist, long legs and a 34in bust to fit into them.
Former hostage Terry Waite, who is president of the Emmaus charity for which the items are being sold, said: "It just shows you that there are a lot of people in this world who really do care about social conditions and who are very generous.
"Many of these dresses have a sentimental attachment and many people would say that although they won't wear it again they would not be able to let it go. It's very generous of her."
The sale is expected to raise more than £25,000 for the charity which provides communities for the homeless.
The items go under the hammer at Sotheby's Olympia on Tuesday.
