Princess Diana’s iconic little black dress, widely known as the “Revenge Dress”, is to be auctioned, France 24 reports.

The dress was worn by Diana Spencer when she was Princess of Wales and remains closely associated with her public legacy. Its auction is again drawing attention to an item that has retained a strong place in the history of the British royal family.

The nickname “Revenge Dress” is widely used for the garment, although the available report does not provide further detail about its official provenance or ownership.

France 24’s report does not specify the auction date, venue, auctioneer, estimated value or expected sale price. It also does not provide additional details on whether the item will be sold outright or displayed as part of an auction process.

The auction coverage comes as reporting continues around the worldwide release of a book by Diana’s brother and reactions from King Charles and the British Crown. The available material does not establish a direct connection between those developments and the auction.
