  4. Doesn't look like the same jacket. In video, there's no indication of a zipper and the end of the belt is straight (on auction item, the zippers are prominent and the end of the belt is angled.)

    3. Wow! how exciting, a true investment for the future owner and bidder. Owning something so historical when it comes down to the video let alone worn by one of the legendary Divas known today. I bet the rest of the outfit is in the pocket.
