The deep purple Victor Edelstein dress is up for grabs for the first time since Diana auctioned it off in 1997 for charity.
One of Princess Diana’s most recognizable gowns—donned for one of her final photoshoots—will go up for auction this month in a rare sale, marking only the second time the dress has been available for purchase as the princess remains a fixture of pop culture even more than two decades after her death.... [+]Key Facts
The deep purple silk velvet dress coming to auction is a strapless ballgown with a tulip-shaped skirt by British dressmaker Victor Edelstein, who designed gowns for Diana for more than a decade. While the gown was part of Edelstein’s Autumn 1989 collection, the original design sketch featured the outline of a tiara on the page’s margins, which auction house Sotheby’s said may have indicated he had Diana in mind when designing the dress.
Diana wore the dress multiple times over a nearly decade-long period, including in a 1991 royal portrait shot by her aunt-in-law Princess Margaret’s then-husband Lord Snowdon.
