It may not be the latest fashion but for Richard Burton fans the opportunity to buy this outfit could be too good to pass up.

The Roman breast-plated uniform and cape - made of brown leather with brass buckle and studded detail, gilt embossed sun motif and white leather skirt - was worn by the Welsh actor in the 1963 epic Cleopatra.

It is one of several pieces which will go under the hammer at the world's largest auction of film and TV costumes at Bonhams auction house in March, and looks set to fetch between £500 and £600.

It will feature alongside a yellow polka dot two-piece suit and cardigan worn by Catherine Zeta- Jones in The Darling Buds of May.

The suit is stamped inside with the name Mariette, the role which Catherine played in the television series, which ran between 1991 and 1993.

A velvet black coat worn in the series, edged with braid and ribbon will also feature in the auction, which is due to take place on March 6.

More than 350 items, all supplied by Angels The Costumiers, will be available to collectors and amateur fans alike, with prices ranging from £150 to £50,000.

In recognition of the popular appeal of the items, Bonhams' saleroom will be turned into a star's dressing room, allowing interested customers the opportunity to try on selected costumes.

Other lots in the Bonhams sale of Angels outfits include costumes from films such as Braveheart, Titanic, Elizabeth, Indiana Jones, Highlander, Robin Hood
