Princess Diana's "Revenge Dress" Preview Before Sale
The dress known as the "Revenge Dress" is a famous piece worn by Princess Diana on June 29, 1994, the day her then-husband, Prince Charles, publicly admitted to his betrayal. It is currently being exhibited at Sotheby's in London before it embarks on an international tour that includes Hong Kong and Geneva, in preparation for its auction in New York in December, with estimated prices ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. The black silk dress, designed by Christina Stambolian, reflects Diana's desire to regain control over her personal story and to assert her presence. It is considered one of her most famous and influential possessions, serving as a symbol of both revenge and elegance at the same time. It is noteworthy that the British magazine "The Sun" described her appearance as "elegant revenge," and it is expected that its price and connection to Diana's story and her global message will attract interest from institutions and collectors worldwide—especially since it represents a moment of strength and rebellion in the life of the late princess.
