The Bruce Oldfield-designed dress was worn by Diana to the premiere of comedy film Hot Shots at Leicester Square. It will go under the hammer this month at Julien's auction house in Beverley Hills - where would-be buyers will have to shell out hundreds of thousands of pounds for a chance to own the historic piece.

A label that reads 'Bruce Oldfield, Custom Made, London' can be found on the inside. First debuted by Diana for the Odeon film premiere in 1991, it went on display in Ireland earlier this year at an exhibition named 'Princess Diana – Fashion from the Wardrobe of the People's Princess', which was held at Newbridge Silverware's Museum of Style Icons. Also up for auction is a Catherine Walker dress Diana wore to a gala dinner a few months later, as well as a black and ivory strapless velvet gown she wore at private functions.
