CNN —Princess Diana wore many show-stopping outfits over the years, leaving behind an indelible impact on fashion history as it relates to royal dress codes, semiotics and more.

But the quirky knit sold today has not only eclipsed that record sum, it has also become the most valuable sweater ever sold at auction. One black sheep stands out from the crowd on the front of the sweater. “We are thrilled that this cherished sweater has now found a new home, carrying with it the enduring legacy of Princess Diana,” said Muir and Osborne in a statement.

CNN —Princess Diana left behind a vast style legacy, and soon enthusiasts will be able to bid for one of her most famous looks. The celebrated “black sheep” sweater first worn by Lady Diana Spencer at a polo match in 1981 when she was engaged to the now King Charles III will headline Sotheby’s Fashion Icons auction in New York and online between August 31 and September 14. The sweater will be on display at Sotheby's in New York at the start of Fashion Week on September 7. Artists Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne and their knitwear label Warm & Wonderful created the knitted, bold-red, wool crew neck, which is adorned with rows of white sheep and one black sheep on the front, in 1979. In the photograph, the lone black sheep appears to be on a higher row of white sheep on the new sweater than on the original.
