A light blue strapless gown with accompanying stole sold for $132,000 and was worn on three occasions, including at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival. The auction attracted bidders from around the world, and organizers believe the recent royal wedding between Diana's son, Prince William, and Kate Middleton helped boost the sale price of both dresses.
Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris nearly 14 years ago. The dresses were designed by Catherine Walker.
