Back in the 1980’s Princess Diana established herself as a style icon when she was photographed in a daring black taffeta dress when she made her first appearance with Prince Charles as his finance.

Now, fans will get a chance to bid on the gown in June when it hits the auction house although the price tag is expected to be somewhere around £50,000.

The gown is just one of 30 lots that designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel are putting up for sale. Another key item is the chiffon blouse that then Lady Diana Spencer wore in her engagement portrait which is expected to go for £10,000 to £15,000.

Also included are sketches of Princess Diana’s wedding dress which may go for around £1,200 and the final ‘toile’ itself which may go for £12,000

As if these were not enough goodies, the ivory petticoat that Diana wore to her dress rehearsal for the wedding in 1981 is also up for grabs and expected to earn £1,000 as well as letters that correlate to the gown estimated at the same worth.

Collectors may be more interested in the black dress that she wore in 1981 to the Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City because it was the item that placed her on the world stage and made her an icon to many more people than just Britons. The power of the dress is remarkable given that it was in this moment that a member of the royal family actually became known as a fashion icon which previously had never been the case.

Simon Cowell wedding bigger than Charles and Di?

Simon Cowell, the chief judge and creator of X Factor, is used to creating publicity so that he stays in the spotlight, but even Cowell is likely to be surprised by how many people are interested in the fact that he proposed to Mezhgan Hussainy, a36 year old makeup artist. In fact, some media analysts have gone as far as to predict that his impending nuptials may draw more interest than the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

A new report in fact states that celebrities and business tycoons are already lining up offering their services so that they can garnish some publicity from the event, with some even pushing for a live televised wedding.

Many of the offers include freebies such as celebrity chef’s offering to cater the wedding for free, the free use of luxury yachts for the wedding, and even street vendor merchandising of wedding memorabilia, which is estimated to generate around £30m from the wedding.

Stylist for American Idol, Miles Siggins, stated that the entire country has gone nuts about the impending nuptials, and that he is due to get married this autumn; in an event that Donald Trump would be envious of.

However, even though there is a lot of hoopla about the wedding, a source that is close to the couple says that they do not plan on making a massive event out of the wedding and plan to keep it simple and small, with just their close family and friends.
