Madonna is putting one of her old bras up for auction, and it's expected to make £15,000.

The singer's infamous conical bra will be up for sale today at British auction house Christie's in South Kensington, London.

The hitmaker wore the distinctive corset bra during her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour. The conical bra was designed for Madonna by Jean Paul Gautier and has gone on to become one of the mosty destinctive pieces of clothing in pop history.

Also up for sale is a black lycra two-piece, worn by the popstar while performing her epoche-defining 'Vogue'.

The lycra two-piece is expected to fetch £12,000, meaning that the two pieces of the star's clothing are expected to draw a combined £28,000.

Madonna wore the conical bra for her performance of 'Hanky Panky' and 'Now I'm Following You' at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona during the summer of 1990.

One Madonna fanatic who might fancy splurging in the items is model Daisy Lowe, who used to try to copy the singer's style when she was a child.

"My biggest fashion obsession is Jean Paul Gautier. I remember first seeing Madonna's conical bra when I wa about 12, and grabbing party hats to copy it.

"His clothes are so feminine and powerful."

Also in the sale are a number of Marilyn Monroe prints, including a silver print worth up to £2,300, along with a 1955 clanedar featuringa colour reproduction of a nude portrait of the star by Tom Kelly.

The calendar is expected to fetch up to £1,200.
