Princess Diana's Iconic 'Black Sheep' Sweater Up for Auction This Fall

Princess Diana's iconic "black sheep" sweater, worn at a polo match in 1981, will be auctioned at Sotheby's this fall. The red sweater, featuring a white sheep motif with a lone black sheep, became a sensation and helped propel the label Warm & Wonderful into the public eye. The original sweater, which disappeared for decades, was recently rediscovered and is expected to fetch between $50,000 and $80,000 at the auction. The sweater's meaning has sparked debate, with some seeing it as a symbol of Diana's royal outlier status, an homage to British agriculture, or a reflection of her kind demeanor.
