In a statement on this occasion, the auction house Julien’s notes that the evening black and blue dress, strewn with stars, was created by the British designer of Moroccan origin, Jacques Azagury. The style, which the auction house experts call “delicate and sophisticated,” is reminiscent of the night sky, and the short full skirt adds a playful note and is reminiscent of the princess’s love of dancing. The princess wore it at least twice. The second time she was photographed wearing this dress was when she attended a Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concert at the Orpheum in Vancouver in May 1986. The previous price record belonged to a velvet princess dress created in 1991 by designer Victor Edelstein. It was sold in January of this year for $604.8 thousand.
