The King of Pop’s legacy lives on through the iconic fashion he wore throughout his life and career—and now, his looks have raised more than $5 million for charity. Nearly 500 of his belongings were sold to the highest bidders at Julien’s Auctions this weekend in Los Angeles, and  Lady Gaga was amongst the lucky buyers to take home a piece of pop culture history. She scored a pretty big chunk, too—the singer later tweeted, “The 55 pieces I collected today will be archived & expertly cared for in the spirit & love of Michael Jackson, his bravery, & fans worldwide.” While she did not reveal specifically what pieces she won, we’re hoping to see her don one of his memorable items soon. A portion of proceeds from the auction went to two charities, Guide Dogs of America and the Nathan Adelson Hospice of Las Vegas.

One year after Michael Jackson‘s untimely death, an auction was held to sell some of his most famed memorabilia. Held in Las Vegas, the auction featured over 200 items—including the famed Swarovski crystal-studded glove MJ wore on his 1984 Victory Tour. The lone glove, one of Michael’s most fashionable items, fetched almost $200,000—far, far more than the expected $30,000. And the winning bidder, Wanda Kelley, was prepared to pay even more, telling PopEater.com, ”Let’s just say I wasn’t walking out of here with that glove.”
