Diana's 'Revenge Dress' Goes on Display Amid Fallout from Brother's Book
The iconic dress is currently on display in London and will be displayed in New York later this year.
Princess Diana's famous "revenge dress" has gone on display for the first time in nearly three decades at Sotheby's auction house in London. The black silk evening gown, designed by Christina Stambolian, was worn by the late princess at a party in Kensington Gardens, London, hours after her estranged husband, Prince Charles, admitted to infidelity.
The dress has become an iconic symbol of Diana's resilience and power in fashion, and its unveiling comes amid a fallout between the palace and Diana's younger brother, Charles Spencer, who is set to release a memoir detailing allegations about the days following her death in 1997. The dress will be exhibited in London, Hong Kong, Geneva, and New York before it goes under the hammer at auction on December 9, with an estimated sale price of up to $300,000.
