Princess Diana's wardrobe set to go on display in Ireland before auctioned off
Princess Diana's largest fashion collection will be on display at The Museum of Style Icons before it's set to be auctioned off.
LA based Julien's Auction will bring the Princess of Wales largest collection to be displayed for its only public exhibition in Europe in Newbridge, Co Kildare before heading to The Peninsula Beverly Hills for a live and online auction by Julien's on Thursday, June 26 at 10am.
The exhibition opens June 7 and will run through June 17.
Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection will offer over 200 extraordinary pieces, many of which have never before been available to the public including Diana's most celebrated and iconic gowns, suits, shoes, handbags and accessories seen in photographs.
Fans can also view rare and regal pieces from British royal history, including couture garments from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and historic items belonging to Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother, and royal treasures dating as far back as the 19th century.
Last year, Julien's Auctions sold a ballet-length Jacques Azagury gown worn by the princess in Florence, Italy on April 23 1985.
It fetched an astonishing $1,148,080, a new record for a Diana garment.
