On Sunday, December 17th, a new historic record was broken after a dress worn by Princess Diana at a 1985 dinner hosted by the Mayor of Florence, Italy, was sold for a millionaire’s sum, proving that even after her death, she remains a true fashion icon.

The evening gown worn at the time by Princess Diana was sold with a matching illustration detailing its black velvet bodice embroidered with metallic stars and a two-tiered royal blue organza skirt with sash and bow for nearly $1.15 million.

The auction house Julien’s Auctions revealed through a statement that the dress had sold for a price 11 times higher than they expected, assuring that “it is a reflection of the royal elegance and timeless grace of the Princess of Wales“.

The fashion critic Elizabeth Holmes said, “People are still amazed by her and her fashion“, and there is no doubt that Princess Diana went from being a girl of humble origins to becoming a futurist who, thanks to her daring designs, has remained a fashion icon.

Diana’s popularity has increased again since the premiere of the last season of the popular series ‘The Crown‘, as many episodes focus on her life, showing the controversies in the years leading up to her death in a car accident in 1997.
