Diana's famous black dress to tour globally before Sotheby's sale
A striking black dress worn by Princess Diana on the day her estranged husband admitted adultery is going up for auction at Sotheby’s. Known as the “revenge dress,” it has a presale estimate of up to $300,000. Diana wore the off-the-shoulder silk dress, designed by Christina Stambolian, to a gala in London on June 29, 1994, the day the then-Prince Charles' TV interview was broadcast. Sotheby’s Morgane Halimi says Diana used the dress to seize control of her story.
The dress will tour internationally before its sale in New York on December 9. Diana's enduring appeal continues to captivate collectors and fans worldwide.
