Princess Diana’s iconic floral ‘caring dress’ sold for $520K at a California auction featuring over 100 royal fashion items from her wardrobe

Princess Diana was known for her iconic wardrobe, and members of the public are willing to pay big for them more than two decades after her death. A silk floral-printed dress designed by Bellville Sassoon and worn by Diana on multiple occasions sold Thursday for over $500,000 at an auction in Beverly Hills, California.

The anticipated highest bidder for the ensemble is Renae Plant, who has dedicated her life to celebrating the legacy of the Princess of Wales by collecting and preserving her personal items. Plant, 53, founded the virtual Princess Diana Museum in 2019, which hosts the largest collection of the late Princess’s memorabilia in the world.
