The infamous black cocktail dress - that Lady Diana sashayed into the limelight in on her 1st Official engagement with Prince Charles in the public eye - just sold at auction for a staggering $275,000.00.
The strapless silk taffeta gown was cut so low that it triggered scandalous headlines around the globe.
Some critics charged that the designer stunner was too racey for Lady Diana Spencer who was engaged to Prince Charles at the time.
"Not befitting a nubile nineteen-year old," others grumbled in so many words.
Nothwithstanding, the controversy thrust Lady Di into the International spotlight - at which point - the Princess-to-be was well on her way to becoming a fashion icon to be later courted by the tony elite in lofty climbs at all four corners of the earth.
A Chilean Fashion Museum now boasts ownership of the designer dress that once rocked jolly old England!
