Princess Diana's famous 'revenge dress' to be auctioned again soon

Princess Diana's iconic 'revenge dress' is heading to auction in New York on December 9. The garment, which became famous after the princess wore it on the night of King Charles's confession of infidelity in 1994, will be sold alongside a signed 1997 catalog to benefit charity.

Princess Diana's iconic black off-the-shoulder gown, famously known as the revenge dress, is set to be auctioned on December 9 in New York. The dress gained international attention on June 29, 1994, the same night King Charles III admitted to his infidelity in a television interview. It had previously been sold in 1997 to benefit AIDS and cancer charities, remaining out of the public eye for nearly three decades.

In addition to the gown, the successful bidder will receive an original 1997 auction catalog personally signed by Princess Diana. Before the final auction, the garment will be showcased at exhibitions in London, Hong Kong, and Geneva. A portion of the proceeds from the upcoming sale is designated for charitable causes, continuing the tradition established when the dress was first auctioned nearly thirty years ago.
