On December 17, one of Princess Diana's gowns sold for $1.1 million at a "Hollywood Legends" sale hosted by Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies. The final sale price was 11 times more than its original estimate, making it the most expensive dress of Diana's sold at an auction to date, according to a press release from Julien's Auctions shared with Business Insider. The release said the previous record holder sold for $604,800.
Jacques Azagury designed Diana's dress, which had puffy sleeves, a tulle skirt, and blue, sparkly embellishments covering the bodice.
The late Princess of Wales wore it at royal engagements in Florence, Italy, in 1985 and Vancouver, Canada, in 1986.
The Jacques Azagury dress is part of a slew of clothing and personal effects Julien's Auctions has sold in recent years, from Steve Jobs' Birkenstocks to a pair of Kurt Cobain's jeans.
