Princess Diana’s Lost Dress For Sale

Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:36 am

In 1981, Princess Diana wore a black strapless gown for her first appearance as the Princess of Wales—and thus kick-started an international obsession as the most stylish, fascinating Princess the world had ever seen. The taffeta dress, earning her the title “Daring Di” for its shoulder-baring cut, was thought to have been lost for the last 19 years. Not so: The designers Elizabeth and David Emanuel announced yesterday that their creation had been with them all along. The Princess had simply dropped it off with them to be altered. “[When we designed the dress], we hadn’t considered the fact that when Diana bent over—as she would have to do when getting out of the car—she would show quite a lot of cleavage. We just thought she looked fabulous,” Miss Emanuel recalled to the Daily Mail. The lost gown—which is expected to go for over $100,000—will be auctioned off on June 8th at Kerry Taylor Auctions.

Glee‘s Jane Lynch on Her Wedding Ring and Tux

Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:32 am

At last night’s Glee premiere party, newly engaged Jane Lynch couldn’t have been more different from her character, conniving cheer coach Sue Sylvester. The actress gushed over her platinum and diamond ring: “I got it at Doyle & Doyle, a beautiful jewelry store on [N.Y.C.'s] Lower East Side,” she told us. “It’s a design that is original to their store. My girl [fiancee Lara Embry] picked it out, and she has the same one.” No big white dress for this star, though. “I’m going to wear gray Ali Rahimi trousers and a cream silk tux blouse,” she said. “[Embry] is wearing a 1960s block dress with dark gray on the side and silver in the middle. It’s going to be beautiful.”
