In addition to the beaded, ivory gown from Evita, Julien's is selling 38 costumes she wore from the 85 that were featured in the film.
The wedding dress, veil and shoes that Madonna wore when she married actor Sean Penn in 1985 in California are expected to fetch up to $60,000, and the annulment papers ending the union in 1987, will also be offered. The couple divorced in 1989.
Madonna was named the highest-earning celebrity in 2013 by Forbes magazine. She raked in an estimated $125 million from June 2012 to June 2013, thanks to her worldwide MNDA Tour, merchandising sales, her fragrance and her Material Girl clothing line.
"She really is a true icon, highly talented and a very smart businesswoman," says Nolan.
The Madonna collection, which is expected to attract collectors, museums and investors, is part of Julien's Icons & Idols: Rock 'n' Roll, which will include more than 700 lots, representing 40 artists such a pop singers Katy Perry, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, and country-western star Naomi Judd.
