Princess Diana in Revenge Dress, 1994

Princess Diana's "Revenge" dress was by Christina Stambolian, and was purchased for a Vanity Fair dinner at the Serpentine Gallery. The black silk dress had an asymmetrical bodice and came to be known as the "revenge" dress because she wore it on the same day her ex-husband, Prince Charles, admitted to marital infidelities. The dress sold for $74,000 at auction in 1997.
