(CNN) — A dress worn by Princess Diana in 1985 has sold for a record $1.148 million at auction, 11 times its estimate.
The blue and black dress, designed by Moroccan-British fashion designer Jacques Azagury, is now the most expensive dress worn by the princess to be sold at auction, smashing the previous record of $604,800, Los Angeles auction house Julien’s Auctions said in a media statement.
Diana wore the dress, which features a black velvet bodice embroidered with stars, in the Italian city of Florence in April 1985, and in Vancouver, Canada in May 1986.
The dress was sold along with a matching illustration as part of Julien’ s “Hollywood Legends” auction, which ended Sunday.
The sale also featured a blush-pink chiffon blouse worn by Diana in her engagement portrait in 1981. It sold for $381,000, almost four times its estimate.
