Diana's Revenge Dress Heads to Auction | San Antonio News

Princess Diana’s legendary “revenge dress” — the black silk Christina Stambolian gown she wore on the night Prince Charles confessed to his affair — is back in the spotlight, heading to auction in New York with an estimated $150K–$300K price tag. Once sold by Diana herself in 1997 to fund AIDS charities, this figure-hugging, off-the-shoulder masterpiece has become a symbol of her resilience and reclaiming her narrative. With tabloids dubbing it “revenge is chic,” the dress continues to captivate fans and collectors alike, echoing Diana’s enduring cultural power — proven by her sheep sweater’s $1M sale last year. On display until September 24th in London, it’s poised to draw global attention from both private buyers and institutions, cementing its place as one of the most iconic pieces of royal fashion history.
