Kerry Taylor Auction said the strapless gown, which features gold sequins, rhinestones and pearl beads, was not designed for Diana — but the royal chose it herself from a collection by her favorite designers, the Emanuels. 

The auction house said Diana wore the dress, which came with a matching headband and optional sleeves, on various occasions. 

It said the dress' auction price exceeded initial estimates and went to an unidentified museum abroad.
