Get ready for a dazzling celebration of Hollywood’s most iconic stars as Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) present the grand finale to their four-day event: “Hollywood Legends.”
The sale, aptly titled “Glamour, Grace, and Greatness,” is set to take place in Los Angeles on December 17th 2023, marking the culmination of Julien’s 20th-anniversary celebration.
Princess Diana’s timeless elegance on display
The highlight of the auction is undoubtedly the timeless pieces worn by the People’s Princess herself, Princess Diana. Stepping into the spotlight is her famous blush pink chiffon Emanuel blouse, worn in the iconic 1981 engagement portrait captured by Lord Snowden. This stunning piece is estimated to fetch between US$80,000-100,000, a small price to pay for a slice of royal history.
Let’s take a closer look at this regal relic:
| Item | Description | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Princess Diana’s Emanuel Blouse | Blush pink crepe with ruff-like collar and loose pleats, worn in the 1981 engagement portrait | US$80,000-100,000 |
| Jacques Azagury 1985 Evening Dress | Romantic ballerina-length dress worn in Florence, Italy on April 23, 1985 | US$100,000-200,000 |
The Emanuel blouse, previously on display at Kensington Palace, carries a unique story. Fashion editor Anna Harvey introduced Diana to a rack of options, and the rest, as they say, is fashion history.
Audrey Hepburn’s Charade Magic
