Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress," worn the night her then-husband Prince Charles admitted to his infidelity, is up for auction in New York City. The figure-hugging black, off-the-shoulder Christina Stambolian evening gown, described as a symbol of confidence, is expected to sell for between $150,000 and $300,000. Diana, who had been separated from Charles for almost two years, chose to wear the daring dress during a Vanity Fair-hosted fundraising dinner at the Serpentine gallery in London in June 1994.

The dress will be exhibited at Sotheby's London starting in September before traveling to Hong Kong, Geneva, and New York. Sotheby's notes that Diana's choice to wear the dress had a powerful impact, giving women across the world permission to use fashion as a means of empowerment.
The last time the dress was sold was in 1997 to raise funds for cancer and AIDS charities, with a portion of the proceeds going to the NHS Lothian Charity.
