Buckingham Palace may have recently been home to the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning Alexander McQueen wedding dress, but Kensington Palace will soon be home to another royal wardrobe.
A collection of Princess Diana’s dresses will go on display at Kensington Palace in March, Women’s Wear Daily reports.
For some of the dresses, it will be the first time they’ve been on show in the United Kingdom.
The highlight will reportedly be the black silk taffeta Emanuel gown—sold at auction last year for about $300,000—that Diana wore for her first official public appearance with Prince Charles in 1981.
Simply called “Diana,” the exhibition will also include a bright, two-tone sari-style dress by Catherine Walker (left), which Diana wore in Thailand; a black and white cocktail dress by Bellville Sassoon Lorcan Mullany, and a Versace shift dress.
