Princess Diana's 'Revenge Dress' to Go up for Auction
The gown, worn after Charles’s public admission of infidelity, is expected to fetch up to $300,000, with proceeds partly aiding NHS Lothian Charity.
- On December 9, Sotheby's will auction Princess Diana's iconic black silk 'Revenge Dress' in New York, estimated to fetch between $150,000 and $300,000 during the auction house's Luxury Week.
- Diana, Princess of Wales, famously wore the Christina Stambolian-designed gown to a Serpentine Gallery fundraiser on June 29, 1994, the same evening then-Prince Charles publicly admitted to infidelity during a televised interview.
- Last sold in 1997 to benefit cancer and AIDS charities, the dress returns to auction after nearly 30 years, with proceeds from the December sale supporting NHS Lothian Charity on behalf of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
- Before the New York sale, the gown will tour London, Hong Kong, and Geneva, with the lot including a rare catalogue numbered and signed by Diana and designer Christina Stambolian.
- Sotheby's executive Morgane Halimi stated the dress remains 'one of the most powerful messages' Diana ever made, reflecting enduring interest in royal memorabilia following the $1.1 million sale of her 'black sheep' sweater in 2023.
