Few noticed the tribute at the time, but today, the connection is clear. Diana later re-wore the dress to the Miss Saigon premiere and included it in her 1997 charity auction. It sold again in 2013 for over $132,000, benefiting a children’s charity.
Now preserved at Kensington Palace, the dress stands not just as a fashion statement, but as a symbol of Diana’s grace, memory, and quiet solidarity with a fellow princess who once guided her through the storm.
