Elizabeth Taylor, recognized by the Hollywood actress and a fashion icon, was famous for its luxurious wardrobe collection. One of the most prominent outfits in her life was Christian Dior's dress, named SOIREE A RIO, designed for the Haute Couture Collection Spring-Lito 1961.
This outfit became legendary after Taylor came out at the Oscar Award. That evening, she received a statuette in the "best female" category, and her Slim Look dress with a tulip skirt and a pronounced waist surprised and fascinated the audience.
After the ceremony, the dress that became a kind of mascot for the actress was carefully preserved in a large plastic suitcase, along with 11 other items of Elizabeth Taylor's wardrobe. However, this outfit has not been available for more than 50 years.
Now it is attracting attention again as it will be auctioned. Christian Dior is expected to pay from 75 to $ 125 thousand for this iconic dress from Christian Dior.
The history of this lost and newly found dress testifies to how even fashion objects can become a part of the vital history of great personalities and leave their mark in the history of fashion and cinema.
