Princess Diana’s ‘Revenge Dress’ Expected to Sell for £220,000 at Auction
Sotheby’s says the dress is expected to bring $150,000 to $300,000, with part of the proceeds going to NHS Lothian Charity.
- Sotheby will auction Princess Diana's iconic "Revenge Dress" in New York later this year during Luxury Week, with estimates reaching up to $300,000.
- Diana first wore the Christina Stambolian gown on June 29, 1994, at the Serpentine Gallery in London, the same evening Prince Charles publicly admitted his infidelity with Camilla Parker Bowles.
- Ahead of the sale, the dress will embark on a global exhibition tour including a London display from September 18 to September 24, with proceeds benefiting NHS Lothian Charity.
- Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's global fashion head, noted Diana turned the gown into a "powerful message" during one of the most "scrutinised and emotionally charged episodes of her life."
- The auction marks the first sale since 1997, when Diana sold 79 dresses to benefit AIDS and cancer charities; it will be sold with a rare, signed catalogue.
