Le Mans: Racing Suit

Worn By: Steve McQueen
Year: 1971
Value: $336,000*

When it comes to iconic actors, Steve McQueen will always be remembered as the King of Cool. He had more charm in his little finger than some actors have in their whole bodies. That’s what makes his costumes all the more valuable.

For the 1971 movie Le Mans, McQueen donned an all-white racing suit. The very same suit went up for auction in 2017, selling for an extraordinary $336,000. It came with the Ball helmet as well as Nomex fire-retardant underwear. This was no mere movie prop, but a fully-working racing suit.
