Princess Diana's 'Revenge Dress' to Auction at Sotheby's in December
Princess Diana's iconic black silk 'Revenge Dress' by Christina Stambolian, worn during a 1994 Vanity Fair event coinciding with Prince Charles's televised infidelity admission, is set for auction at Sotheby's New York on December 9. The gown, valued between $150,000 and $300,000, will be exhibited in London, Hong Kong, and Geneva before the sale. Diana wore the dress only once publicly and auctioned it in 1997 to support cancer and AIDS charities. The dress symbolizes confidence amid personal crisis.
