Constructed with fabric chosen by renowned textile merchant Jakob Schlaepfer, the dress featured meticulously embroidered metallic stars, showcasing the craftsmanship of the design team. Diana, known for her elegant fashion choices, frequently wore pieces crafted by Moroccan-British fashion designer Jacques Azagury.
Another notable item from Diana's wardrobe, a pink crepe blouse worn during her engagement announcement in 1981, was also auctioned at the TCM Present: Hollywood Legends auction. The blouse, captured in a memorable portrait by royal photographer Lord Snowdon, exceeded expectations by selling for $381,000, nearly four times its initial estimate of $80,000.
The auction results reflect the enduring fascination and appreciation for Princess Diana's timeless style, with her fashion legacy continuing to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.
