Princess Diana’s iconic black silk ‘revenge dress’, designed by Christina Stambolian, is scheduled to be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York on December 9, 2026, during Luxury Week. The gown, which gained fame after being worn to a 1994 gala at the Serpentine Gallery on the same night Prince Charles admitted to infidelity, is estimated to fetch between $150,000 and $300,000, though some projections suggest it could reach as high as $400,000. Prior to the auction, the garment will undergo an international exhibition tour. The tour includes a display at Sotheby’s in London from September 18 to 24, followed by a stop in Hong Kong from October 1 to 15, and Geneva from November 6 to 11, before arriving in New York in early December. The dress has been held in a private collection since 1997, when Diana sold items to raise funds for charitable organizations and AIDS research. As of September 19, 2026, the dress has been put on display at Sotheby’s in London. A portion of the sale proceeds is intended for donation to the NHS Lothian Charity to support the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, specifically to benefit mental health services at the Royal Hospital for Children in Edinburgh. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-19: Princess Diana’s “Revenge Dress” to be auctioned in New York Princess Diana’s famous “Revenge Dress” will go up for auction at Sotheby’s in New York this December, with estimates reaching up to $300,000 or more. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/princess-dianas-revenge-dress-to-be-auctioned-in-new-york-2 ### 2026-09-12: Princess Diana’s iconic revenge dress to be auctioned in New York Princess Diana’s famous “revenge dress” will be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York on December 9, 2026, following a global exhibition tour in London, Hong Kong, and Geneva. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/princess-dianas-revenge-dress-to-be-auctioned-in-new-york-1 ### 2026-09-10: Princess Diana's 'revenge dress' to be auctioned by Sotheby's Princess Diana’s famous “revenge dress” will be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York on December 9, with an estimated value of up to $300,000.
