Princess Diana was known for her iconic wardrobe, and now more of her looks are available for the public to purchase.

Hundreds of pieces of clothing worn by Diana, as well as memorabilia belonging to the late princess -- who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 at the age of 36 -- are being presented in an auction Thursday in Beverly Hills, California.

The auction items include a silk floral-printed dress designed by Bellville Sassoon and worn by Diana on multiple occasions. The starting bid for the dress is $100,000, according to the auction site.
