The "largest wardrobe auction" of clothes worn by Princess Diana is set to take place later this month. 

The auction,  will take place June 26 in Beverly Hills, California, and will feature over 200 garments and artifacts that showcase Diana's "enduring influence as a fashion icon and humanitarian," Julien's Auctions said. 

"This collection is not only the most comprehensive offering of her wardrobe ever presented, but also a tribute to her elegance, grace, glamour, and enduring spirit," Martin Nolan, Julien's co-founder and executive director. "Each item is a window into a moment in history."

The auction will also feature items once worn by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family, dating back to the 1800s. 

A portion of the money raised from the auction will go toward Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Previous auctions from Diana's wardrobe broke records in 2023. A dress worn twice by Diana was auctioned off for over $1.1 million in Hollywood, and a royal sweater that Diana wore in 1981 to one of then-Prince Charles' polo matches during their engagement sold for $1.1 million.

Here are some of the pieces that will be up for auction.
