Princess Diana’s ‘revenge dress’ to be auctioned in New York
Princess Diana’s iconic black dress, worn on the night Prince Charles admitted his infidelity in a televised interview in 1994, is expected to fetch up to $300,000 at a New York auction in December.
Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress," worn on the night then-Prince Charles openly admitted to adultery, will be auctioned in New York later this year. The daring off-the-shoulder gown marked a pivotal moment in Diana's life, as she employed fashion beyond mere adornment to make a profound statement, as Morgane Halimi of Sotheby's explained.
The dress, a creation of designer Christina Stambolian, carries an estimated value of $150,000 to $300,000, with proceeds from the sale ultimately supporting charitable causes. Previously, the dress had been auctioned in 1997 to benefit cancer and AIDS charities, just months before Diana's tragic death in a car accident in Paris at the age of 36.
