  "account": "New York will host the auction of Princess Diana's famous \"revenge dress\" in December. The daring off-the-shoulder gown was worn by Diana at a gala dinner in London in 1994, the day her husband, now the king, admitted to infidelity during a TV interview. According to Morgane Halimi of Sotheby's, the dress transformed into one of Diana's most powerful messages during a crucial and emotionally charged period of her life. Halimi explained that the dress served as a license for anyone, particularly women, to utilize fashion beyond mere adornment and in a more deliberate, meaningful manner, such as a shield or a weapon. The dress, created by Christina Stambolian, is anticipated to sell for between US$150,000 and US$300,000, with some funds intended for charity. It was previously auctioned for cancer and AIDS charities in 1997, just before Diana's tragic death in a car accident in Paris at 36 years old.",
