Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is now the owner of one of Britney Spears’ most iconic stage outfits — the Bob Mackie crystal bra. The SKIMS founder shared the news during a recent appearance on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s Khloé in Wonderland podcast, where the two discussed Kim’s passion for collecting celebrity-owned fashion pieces at auction.
Kim’s Obsession With Auctions
During the conversation, Kim admitted she has developed an “obsession” with auctions, describing them as a way to preserve history. “I just love an auction. I love the energy. I think it’s like a piece of history,” she explained. Over the years, she has acquired numerous items, including an entire Bob Mackie collection of Cher’s costumes from The Sonny and Cher Show.

The Britney Spears Crystal Bra
Among her prized possessions is the four-piece Bob Mackie set worn by Britney Spears during her 2001 Dream Within a Dream Tour. The set, which includes the crystal bra, undergarments, and armbands, was famously featured in Spears’ HBO concert special that same year. Spears paired the sparkling ensemble with Dolce & Gabbana jeans in promotional photos, cementing its place in pop culture history. The outfit sold for $78,000 at Julien’s Auctions in March 2025, while a reproduction of the jeans went for $2,925. Kim admitted she had “forgotten” she owned the set until recently.
Hasn’t Told Britney Yet
Despite spending time with Spears last month, Kim confessed she hasn’t told the pop star about her purchase. Khloé was stunned, urging her sister to share the news. “That’s crazy, you should tell her!” Khloé said during the podcast.
Wearing Iconic Pieces
Kim has a history of wearing vintage celebrity fashion. In 2024, she attended a Janet Jackson concert wearing the singer’s original outfit from the “If” music video. She also owns pieces from Elizabeth Taylor’s archive and even gifted Michael Jackson’s jacket to her daughter North, after purchasing it at auction.
Preserving Pop Culture History
For Kim, collecting these items is about more than fashion. She sees them as cultural artifacts that deserve to be preserved. “I think certain people… I don’t know how this stuff gets in the hands of the auctions,” she reflected. Her growing collection underscores her role as both a fashion icon and a custodian of entertainment history.
What’s Next
Whether she eventually tells Spears about her ownership of the crystal bra remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Kim Kardashian’s passion for auctions continues to grow, and her collection of iconic pieces is becoming one of the most impressive in Hollywood.
