The occasion was a Christies auction to sell 79 of her dresses. “The sale raised over $4 million for charity and signified a fresh start in her life as she cleared out her closet for the cause,” People magazine writes.
As part of the “Diana: Her Fashion Story” exhibit at Kensington Palace, opening February 24, many of her famous outfits will be featured, including the dress she wore for her last visit in the U.S.
The cream floral shift dress is by Catherine Walker and was worn on June 23, 1997.
