It was the black sheep amid rows of white that stood out most prominently on Princess
00:08
Diana's bright red sweater in 1981.
00:12
Decades after her death, the iconic fashion item sold for $1.14 million in New York this
00:18
week is breaking auction records.
00:22
The princess, then Lady Diana Spencer, was widely popular with the general public, but
00:27
regularly hounded by Britain's tabloid media during her life.
00:32
She caused a stir when she first donned the distinctive woolly item ahead of her marriage
00:37
to Charles, now King Charles III.
00:40
The sweater, now known in the British press as the Black Sheep Jumper, sold to an unidentified
00:46
bidder for $1.14 million at Sotheby's auction house in New York during its inaugural fashion
00:53
icons auction late Thursday, massively beating pre-auction estimates of $80,000.
01:00
The sale established a new auction record for any article of clothing worn by the late
01:05
princess, as well as the most valuable sweater ever sold at an auction, Sotheby's said in
01:11
a statement.
01:12
It ousted the previous record for a sweater, a green cardigan belonging to musician Kurt
01:17
Cobain, which was sold for $334,000 in 2019.
01:23
Diana's sweater garnered a total of 44 bids from 12 countries, culminating in a final
01:29
frenzy after a 15-minute bidding battle, the auction house said.
01:33
It was worn as she attended one of Charles' polo matches when she was 19.
01:38
The auction lot included two official letters sent from Buckingham Palace in 1981 to the
01:43
small London design company Warm and Wonderful, politely explaining that the jumper had a
01:48
damaged cuff and requesting a repair or replacement.
01:53
The company's co-founder Joanna Osborne and Sally Mir sent a new replacement sweater that
01:58
Diana wore again in 1983 to another polo match.
02:02
The damaged original was found by Osborne in a small wine box in an attic this year,
02:07
Sotheby's said.
02:08
They subsequently confirmed it to be the original sheep jumper worn by Princess Diana over 40
02:13
years ago and it went on sale.
02:17
Diana's amethyst and diamond Attila Cross necklace sold at auction in January for $197,453
02:26
to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
02:28
Her Infanta-style ball gown was also sold at Sotheby's New York this year for $604,800.
02:37
The princess' black 1985 Ford Escort RS turbo car, in which she was often photographed driving
02:43
around London's Chelsea and Kensington neighbourhoods, was sold last year for $764,000.
