Colin Firth’s costume from famous ‘Pride and Prejudice’ wet-shirt scene nets a tidy sum at auction

LONDON—What’s arguably the most famous wet shirt in television history sold for £20,000 on Tuesday—water not included.

The scene in which Firth’s brooding heartthrob emerges from a pond, startling soon-to-be true love Elizabeth Bennet , was once voted the UK’s most memorable television moment. Other items up for sale include a 1950s’ Christian Dior taffeta ball gown worn by Madonna in the 1996 movie Evita, which sold for £40,000 and Johnny Depp’s costume for Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow, which fetched £24,000 . Clothes worn by Depp as the Earl of Rochester in The Libertine and as writer J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland were also among some 60 items that went under the hammer.
