While her protocol-breaking fashion choices often had the royals clutching their crowns in outrage, Princess Diana’s style has become well and truly iconic around the globe. And for a very good reason.
WATCH: Princess Diana in her Iconic revenge dress
From her plunging necklines to her mini dresses, the ‘People’s Princess’ was not afraid to make a statement.
In fact, some of her necklines were so low cut that the princess would often place a purse over her cleavage, prompting her handbag designer, Anya Hindmarch, to deem them, “cleavage bags.”
Diana also neglected to wear gloves at formal events, wore suits, donned black in public when not in mourning and wore dramatic make-up and nail polish – all of which were fashion no-nos when it comes to the royals.
And we absolutely cannot forget the princess’ iconic, ‘revenge dress’. Black, tight, plunging and with a LOT of shoulders showing, this dress broke every royal rule in the best way possible.
The now-famous dress got its name as Diana donned the stunning number on the same night that Charles revealed he committed adultery with his now-wife Camilla.
But the revenge dress is just the cherry on top of a whole buffet of iconic looks that Diana has rocked over the years. And now, we’ve compiled some of her best fashion moments so you too can dress like the beloved royal.
