Princess Diana's 'Revenge Dress' Heads to Auction

A black dress once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, and later nicknamed the "Revenge Dress," is going to auction, France 24 reported.

According to the outlet, the garment became one of the most recognizable pieces associated with Diana's public image and has continued to influence fashion in the years since she wore it.

France 24 said the dress is being offered for sale at a time when interest in Diana's legacy has been renewed following the worldwide release of a book by her brother, which the report said prompted a reaction from King Charles and the British royal family.

The France 24 report did not specify the auction house handling the sale, the expected price, or the exact date of the auction.

Details on the buyer, the current owner of the dress, and the specific occasion France 24 was referencing when describing the dress's original public appearance were not provided in the report.
