Elizabeth Taylor, just 18 here, and her first husband, Conrad “Nicky” Hilton, Paris Hilton’s great-uncle, on their wedding day, May 6, 1950.

The very first time Elizabeth Taylor said “I do,” she wore this seed-pearl-encrusted wedding dress, which goes up for auction at Christie’s today, with an opening bid of 30,000 pounds—about $47,000.
