The hat and shoes worn by Michael Jackson in a landmark 2001 performance in New York were sold at an auction in London for £22,800, auctioneers Bonhams said.
The late pop legend's accessories from a television special at Madison Square Garden, held to mark Mr Jackson's 30th anniversary as a solo artist, beat its pre-sale estimate of £10-12,000.
Jackson's performance, filmed over two nights in September 2001, was watched by a record-breaking 44 million people when it aired two months later.
The top-selling lot from the entertainment memorabilia sale at Bonhams was Ray Lowry's original cover artwork for The Clash's 1979 album London Calling, which fetched £72,000. An autographed issue of The Beatles Book fan club magazine from December 1963, a July 1966 issue and five photographs of the Fab Four together fetched £12,000.
