Princess Diana's 38-year-old gown auctioned for $1.5 million. The black dress (gown) worn by the late Lady Diana, the former wife of King Charles III of Great Britain and the late Princess of Wales in 1985, was auctioned yesterday at a Hollywood auction for a record 1.5 million dollars.
According to British media, this amount is 11 times more than what was estimated for its sale. Princess Diana wore the dress to a dinner at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence in 1985 during a visit to Italy with her husband and then-Crown Prince Charles.
According to British media, the gown was not worn again after 1985 by the late Lady Diana, mother of the current crown prince Prince William and his brother Prince Harry.
A black and blue ballerina-length velvet evening dress, designed by Moroccan and British fashion designer Jacques Azgouri, fetched nearly $1.15 million at Julien's Auctions in Hollywood.
