Dress worn by Princess Diana in 1980s fetches Rs 10 crore at US auction
Los Angeles: A blue and black evening dress worn by the late Princess Diana in the 1980s has fetched a record amount with 11 times its estimate at a California-based auction house.
Julien’s Auctions, based in Beverly Hills, announced late on Monday that the dress, designed by Moroccan-British fashion designer Jacques Azagury, was sold for $1,143,000 (more than Rs 9.5 crore), smashing the previous record of $604,800.
The late British royal wore the dress, which features a black velvet bodice embroidered with stars, in Italy’s Florence in April 1985, and in Vancouver, Canada, in May 1986.
The dress was sold along with a matching illustration as part of Julien’s ‘Hollywood Legends’ auction, which ended on Sunday, CNN reported.
The sale also featured a blush-pink chiffon blouse worn by Diana in her engagement portrait in 1981.
