Princess Diana’s iconic ‘revenge dress’ is returning to auction more than three decades after she wore it to a fundraising dinner at London’s Serpentine Gallery in June 1994.
Designed by Christina Stambolian, the black silk evening dress became an enduring symbol of confidence after Diana wore it on the night Prince Charles publicly admitted to infidelity.
The dress is expected to fetch £110,000-£220,000 when auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York on December 9, following exhibitions in London, Hong Kong and Geneva.
It last changed hands at Diana’s 1997 charity auction and has remained out of public view for nearly 30 years.
