A pink cocktail dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany‘s” was auctioned Wednesday for nearly $200,000 — more than six times what the auctioneers expected.

The sleeveless dress, worn for the scene in which Holly Golightly discovers her brother has died, sold for $192,000 to a private European buyer at Christie‘s sale of film and entertainment memorabilia. The auction house said it had expected the dress to sell for as much as $30,000.

Hall said the auction house was pleased with the results of the sale, which brought in $1.2 million.
