Us Magazine reported that the most valuable of all the items is her "elaborate Marc Bouwer wedding ensemble, which includes a form-fitting lace dress with beaded embellishments and a fishtail hemline, matching opera gloves and an ornate headpiece with a tiered veil".

The singer was said to have had it on for her wedding with music legend, Bobby Brown, who she had a dramatic relationship with.

Their child, Kristina Bobby Brown, is now deceased after suspicion on drowning.
