CNN —A ruff-collared, pale pink blouse Princess Diana wore in a 1981 engagement portrait is expected to fetch up to $100,000 when it goes up for auction next month.
Diana wore the blouse while posing for a portrait taken by Lord Snowdon that several magazines and newspapers, including Vogue, used when her engagement to the then Prince Charles (later King Charles III) was announced.
After the blouse was worn by Diana, the designer held onto it until she sold it in 2010.
Another of Diana’s outfits, an evening dress she wore in public twice, is expected to sell for up to $200,000 at the same auction.
Other items in the auction include memorabilia used or worn by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1950s and 1960s.
