A dress first worn by Princess Diana has broken records at auction, selling for a whopping $1,143,000 — 11 times higher than its estimate. It sold in 19 bids and was originally listed for $100,000 – $200,000.
The then-Princess of Wales wore the blue and black star-spangled dress, designed by Moroccan British designer Jacques Azagury, on at least two formal occasions, first while on tour of Italy with then-Prince Charles to a dinner given by the Mayor of Florence in April 1985.
