Princess Diana's Iconic 'Revenge Dress' to Auction at Sotheby's in December
Princess Diana's iconic black silk 'revenge dress,' designed by Christina Stambolian and famously worn in 1994 the night Prince Charles admitted infidelity on television, is set for auction at Sotheby's in New York on December 9. The gown, estimated to fetch $150,000 to $300,000, will tour London, Hong Kong, and Geneva before the sale. Originally considered too daring by Diana, the dress became a symbol of confidence and defiance during a personal crisis and was last auctioned in 1997 to raise charity funds.
