Diana’s dress will go up for auction at a “cheap” price close to the price of LeBron’s jersey

The ball gown worn by the princess and a piece of the basketball idol’s uniform attract fans and investors

On January 27, the Sotheby’s auction house will promote the sale of special objects in New York.

Among the lots is a purple velvet gown created by designer Victor Edelstein for Princess Diana.

She wore it when posing for two portraits and in an essay with famed Peruvian photographer Mario Testino.

A miniature of the play dressed doll was auctioned off to benefit a cancer hospital in 1998.

Shaped like a tulip, the ball gown has a strapless neckline, Diana’s favorite.

There’s a crack in the bar. At the back, three golden buttons add extra glamor to the prom look.

Prince Charles’ first wife, now King Charles III, was one of the biggest fashion influencers of all time.

He died in a car accident in Paris, in the early hours of August 31, 1997, at the age of 36.

The minimum bid for Diana’s dress is $80,000.

The final value is expected to reach 120 thousand dollars, R$ 610 thousand.

A contained amount compared to the haute couture garments of the most prestigious European fashion houses.

An exclusive luxury dress, made in an atelier, can cost up to 1 million euros, approximately R$ 6 million.

In the same Sotheby’s auction will be offered the shirt worn by LeBron James in the 2013 NBA Finals, when he was champion of the Miami Heat.

The piece will be presented with a minimum price of 3 million dollars (R$15 million). Specialists say it could reach US$5 million (R$25 million).

Celebrity item auctions attract more than just fans. Investors see a business opportunity.

They buy to resell at a higher price in a few years. The intention is always to profit from the prestige of the celebrity who wore the clothes.
