An embellished Gianni Versace gown worn by Princess Diana in a 1991 photo shoot by her official photographer Patrick Demarchelier. The images of Diana wearing the gown were used on the cover of the November 1997 "Harper's Bazaar Diana A Tribute to a Princess" issue and in "Diana: The Portrait" by Rosalind Coward. The figure-hugging shimmering blue- green silk gown with a décolletage neckline is embellished with gold tone studs and pyramids, and encased faceted glass in shades of blue topaz, aqua marine, and white in a geometric and swirled motif. The interior is silk lined with hand finishing and an Atelier Versace label. Atelier Versace is the Haute Couture line of The House of Versace and indicates one-of-a-kind pieces. The gown was acquired directly from Versace as being worn by Princess Diana and was originally on a hanger that read "Lady Diana." Reportedly this is the first gown Gianni Versace designed for Princess Diana. Accompanied by a copy of the magazine. Categories:
