Prince’s beaded jacket from the 1986 film Under The Cherry Moon is being sold at auction.

The jacket is covered in shimmering beadwork and faux pearls, and features a bolero-style front with a cape back.

It still has make-up on the collar because it is so delicate it has never been laundered.Other items including a black-and-white-striped bolero jacket designed for a 1993 tour of Europe, a document the musician signed to play The Kid in Purple Rain and handwritten lyrics for The Screams Of Passion are also going under the hammer.
