Amy Winehouse‘s personal items have been put on display to the public before they are set to be auctioned.
The singer’s belongings are to be put on sale at Julien’s in Los Angeles with prices set to fetch £36,000 for charity.
Amy died of alcohol poisoning back in July 2011, and assets including the dress she wore in her last performance in Belgrade are being sold in the auction – which is due to be held on November 6 and 7.

She only performed one concert on her ill-fated tour ten years ago, but items from her wardrobe – which were custom made for the shows – are set to rake between $5,000 (£3,600) and $7,000 (£5,100) each.
Non-clothing items include a birthday card signed by Amy’s pals Mark, possibly Ronson, and Adele, drawings, drum kit and a Toft Audio Designs series ATB mixing board used by the singer.
A pair of gold leather boots from Amy’s 2003 album cover of Frank are also on display. Love heart sunglasses are also on display in amongst the collection.
Highlights from Amy’s collection include a Dolce and Gabbana floral golden lam dress worn during a stage performance in Blackpool in 2007, which features a fitted bodice with pleated trim and is expected to earn around between $5,000 and $7,000.

A fan of leopard print, the star was seen wearing a strapless dress from A Deadly Dames designed by Micheline Pitt at the airport in Rio De Janeiro in 2011, which is expected to earn between $5,000 and $7,000.
Amy’s collection also featured an array of printed dresses, custom made for her 2011 tour by her stylist Naomi Parry, but sadly the garments were never worn because the star died a month after the shows were cancelled.
Several of the dresses eventually featured in a July 2012 issue of Sunday Times Magazine, and they are all expected to earn between $5,000 and $7,000.
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.
