She was spotted in the dress multiple times in the last years of her life.
The strapless gown is made of aubergine silk velvet and features intricate ruching around the bodice, a tulip-shaped skirt and delicate gold diamante and pearl buttons at the back. It was originally part of the late princess’s 1997 charity auction, which put 79 dresses up for bid to raise more than $3.25 million for five of her favorite charities. As for the purple stunner, a private bidder snapped it up for $24,150.
“Princess Diana has long been renowned and celebrated for her timeless sense of style, and this sleek and sophisticated bespoke ball gown, designed by Victor Edelstein, encapsulates Princess Diana’s effortless elegance,” Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s global head of fashion and accessories, said in a statement. “Today’s sale of this historic dress is a reminder of Princess Diana’s enduring legacy that continues to inspire people all over the world.
