 U.N chief Guterres calls for countries fueling Sudan's war to be held accountable United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Wednesday for countries providing weapons to the warring parties in Sudan that are used to attack civilians to be held accountable. "What is happening in Sudan is absolutely horrible. The humanitarian situation in Sudan is devastating. The level of suffering of the Sudanese people is intolerable," Guterres told reporters ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York next week. Sudan's war, which erupted in April 2023 following a power struggle between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has displaced more than 14 million people and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. "It is true that the conflict is fueled by a number of countries from the outside," Guterres said, Reuters reported. "In my opinion, there should be accountability for the k...

Princess Diana's Dress Breaks New Fashion Record Sells for £900,000


A gown worn by Princess Diana broke a new fashion record, going under the hammer in Hollywood for over £900,000.

The ballerina-length velvet evening dress was worn by the late Princess in 1985 whilst on a royal tour in Italy with her then-husband Charles, and again to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in 1986.

Sold alongside a matching illustration, it fetched a grand total of 1,148,080 US dollars (£904,262) at Julien’s Auctions.

It had previously been estimated by experts as likely to sell for 100,000 dollars (£78,776).

But due to its actual sale price, the gown, which came complete with shoulder pads, a blue organza skirt, a large bow, and a sash, is now the new record holder as the most expensive dress worn by Diana sold at auction.

The previous record holder, a 1991 velvet gown by Victor Edelstein, fetched 604,800 dollars (£476,437) at an auction in January.

The collector’s item worn by Diana was constructed with fabric chosen by world-renowned textile merchant Jakob Schlaepher and featured metallic embroidered stars carefully threaded by the design team at Jacques Azagury.

The ballerina skirt was considered a nod to her patronage of the English National Ballet and her love of dance.

Diana went on to wear several Jacques Azagury pieces during her time with the royal family, with the Moroccan-British fashion designer creating her wedding dress for her 1981 nuptials to Charles.

Also on sale at the Julien’s Auctions and TCM Present: Hollywood Legends events was a blouse worn by Diana for her 1981 engagement portrait.

The pink crepe blouse, which features a ruff-like collar and loose pleats to the front, was worn by Diana and was captured on film by royal photographer Lord Snowdon.

It sold for 381,000 dollars (£300,990), nearly four times its original estimate of 80,000 dollars.
