Princess Diana style moments that are definitely back today
It’s been over 20 years since the death of Princess Diana, but the people’s princess is still in the hearts of all fashion followers. In her tragically short life, the mother of Prince William and Harry launched some truly unique trends, which many of us are still influenced by today. Princess Diana’s style was always refined yet relatable, which is probably why we loved her looks so much.
To honour her wardrobe, we’ve dug into the archives and found some of her best fashion moments that show just how timeless Diana is as a style icon. Take note, because these trends are just as relevant now as they were when she first wore them!
This photo of Lady Diana almost looks photoshopped it’s so trendy, but it’s all real! Snapped in a leopard print swimsuit and matching sarong, this was taken as she holidayed in 1993 on the white sand beaches of the Caribbean.
