Princess Diana’s wardrobe is one of the most emulated in royal history, and now with The Crown back on our screens, her style is drawing even more attention. So, it comes as no real surprise that one of her dresses just sold at auction in Beverley Hills for nearly £1 million, selling for 11 times its original value.

Taking place at Julien’s Auction’s ‘Hollywood Legends’ sale, Diana’s shimmering star-embroidered Azagury dress – which featured impressive Eighties-style shoulder pads, a drop waist bow and an organza skirt – sold for £904,262.

The late royal first wore the evening gown in 1985, to accompany her then husband Prince Charles at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Diana loved the style so much, she wore it again a year later to attend the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

The sale makes royal fashion history – it is the highest price of any gown worn by Diana ever sold. However, other wardrobe pieces have fetched more, including her famous sheep jumper.

Diana's Warm & Wonderful knit sold for an impressive $1.14 million (approximately £916,700) at Sotheby's auction house in New York back in September, which was originally valued between £40,000 and £70,000.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Kim Kardashian also purchased a piece of Diana fashion history. In January, the reality star invested in the Attallah Cross – which had once belonged to Diana – during Sotheby's London's royal and Noble auction, for £163,800. The pendant was initially created in the 1920s by court jewellers Garrard; and Diana famously wore it over 60 years later, with a Catherine Walker dress, to a Birthright charity gala in October 1987.
