The Revenge Dress: A Fashion Icon's Darker Undertones The "revenge dress" is a cultural artifact that has become synonymous with Princess Diana's tumultuous relationship with Prince Charles.
In 1994, she wore Christina Stambolian's black silk gown to the Serpentine Gallery dinner, sparking attention for its daring design and the perceived message it conveyed about her marriage.
This dress is now set to go on tour and be auctioned off for a reported £220,000, a testament to the enduring power of celebrity culture.
