Diane Keaton’s Wardrobe, Art, and Personal Collection Head to Auction

Diane Keaton’s personal collection is set to go under the hammer in a series of auctions beginning in late May 2026, marking the first major sale of her belongings since her passing six months prior. The late Oscar-winning actress, known for her distinctive style and discerning eye, is being honored through a four-part auction series organized by Bonhams in collaboration with the Fine Art Group, titled “Diane Keaton: The Architecture of an Icon.”

The auctions will feature over 550 lots spanning her acting career, personal style, interior design work, and art collection. Highlights include more than 200 garments and accessories from her wardrobe, offered in the online auction “Tailored and Timeless” running from May 31 through June 9. Among the notable fashion pieces are a Gucci sequin outfit with a beret she wore to the 2021 LACMA gala, estimated to sell for $2,000 to $3,000, a classic black bowler hat valued at $400 to $600, and a Ralph Lauren polka-dot tie expected to fetch between $100 and $200.

Diane Keaton was not simply a collector, but a consummate editor. Each piece—whether it be art, fashion, decor, or personal object—was chosen by her with remarkable precision and clarity, reflecting an innate instinct for composition, restraint, and meaning.

The centerpiece of the auction series is a live event in New York on June 8, featuring 50 of her most significant personal items. This includes an original, untitled script from the film “Annie Hall,” the role that earned her an Academy Award and cemented her status as a fashion icon. The script carries an estimate of $2,000 to $3,000. Additional highlights from her personal effects include furnishings and artworks that reflect her long-standing engagement with interior design and visual arts.

Keaton’s approach to collecting was described by her sister, Dorrie Hall, as guided by instinct and an unerring visual and creative intuition that shaped her decades-long artistic exploration. The auctions aim to reflect the breadth of her career—not only as an actor but also as a designer, curator, and artist—showcasing how her personal aesthetic extended beyond the screen into her homes, wardrobe, and art collection.

With over 400 lots offered across New York and Los Angeles, the auctions present a comprehensive view of Keaton’s legacy, offering collectors and admirers a chance to acquire pieces that defined her signature style. The sales are being conducted in accordance with her wishes, as communicated through her family and representatives, to share the personal treasures that accompanied her life and career.
