    At her final stage performance in Belgrade, Serbia, in June 2011, just a month before her death, Winehouse donned a figure-hugging green and black halter neck minidress, designed by her stylist Naomi Parry.

    The famous bamboo and floral print dress is estimated to fetch between £10,800 and £14,500 as it goes under the hammer at Julien’s Auctions alongside Winehouse’s clothes and personal items.  

    Her performance at the Belgrade Tuborg Festival saw the esteemed singer appear disorientated on stage and she was booed off the stage. Her 18-leg European tour was cancelled and she stayed for a week at The Priory clinic.

    The soul singer was found dead in her flat in Camden, north London, less than a month later on July 23, 2011.

    Other custom dresses that were made specifically for the singer’s tour, but were never worn due to the axed performances, are also available at the auction, which will see all proceeds going to the foundation Winehouse’s parents set up in her memory.

    Each dress, which include an outfit incorporating a parrot and another with a flamingo and palm frond print, has an estimated price of £3,600 to £5,000.

    The bold red leather heart-shaped Moschino bag Winehouse brought to the 2007 Brit Awards, where she won the British female solo artist award, is expected to sell for as much as £15,000 at the auction on November 6 and 7.

    A black Tina Kalivas skirt, which has orange dots and a ruffled hem, that Winehouse wore for the 2008 Grammys is also available to buy, and is expected to fetch between £2,100 and £3,600. The singer appeared at the event via satellite from rehab.

    At the Los Angeles awards ceremony, Winehouse incredibly won five of the six awards she was nominated for, including record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.  

    Also going under the hammer are Dolce & Gabbana pieces belonging to Winehouse, which include a mohair blend cardigan with leopard style pattern, expected to fetch £1,000 to £2,100, a knee-length leopard print pencil skirt worn at the 2008 Brit Awards, estimated to sell for £2,100 to £3,600, and a gold lame stage-worn gown with fitted bodice, expected to go for between £3,600 and £5,000.
