Summary
Princess Diana’s iconic “revenge dress” — the black silk gown she wore to a Vanity Fair party in 1994, the same night Prince Charles confessed his affair — is hitting auction and could fetch up to $220,000. More than just a fashion statement, it’s a symbol of her power to reclaim her narrative during a turbulent time. The anonymous seller, who bought it in 1997, will donate proceeds to the NHS Lothian Charity for Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The dress, designed by Christina Stambolian, comes with a signed 1997 auction catalog from both Diana and the designer. Sotheby’s calls it more than fabric — it’s a testament to Diana using style as armor and weapon. Displayed in London before heading to New York on December 9th, this piece isn’t just being sold — it’s being remembered.
