One of the most iconic dresses the late Princess Diana wore during her 1985 official visit to America has failed to sell at auction.
Us Weekly reported that the blue velvet Victor Edelstein gown, which Diana donned when she twirled around the floor at The White House alongside actor John Travolta, did not meet the auction’s reserve price of $ 265,000. The garment was expected to sell for between $ 330,000 and $ 450,000.
Two other gowns worn by the late princess were sold at the same auction reported People Magazine. One item was a blue velvet evening gown by Katherine Cusack which was purchased for over $ 60,000, and the other a navy Catherine Walker ensemble for $ 37,000.
Kerry Taylor Auctions revealed on their Instagram page that what has come to be known as “The Travolta Dress” sold after the auction to a British institution for $ 290,000
