A style icon, queen of hearts and a princess who passed away too soon. All these words describe Lady Dee perfectly. Exactly 62 years ago, Diana Spencer was born into a family of English aristocrats, who became not only the wife of the heir to the throne, but also the main role model for many women. She did good all her life, wasn’t afraid to break the rules, and did everything from the bottom of her heart.
No wonder girls all over the world dream of being like him, talking like him, and even dressing like him. Meanwhile, Princess Diana had a strong influence on the fashion industry. She was never afraid to be herself, and every image of the Princess of Wales became a kind of revolution. She became almost the first royal person to dare to wear bike shorts with sweatshirts, trouser suits, slip dresses and even miniskirts.
Princess Diana, who went down in fashion history, really had a lot of cult debuts. But not everyone knows that Lady Dee is trying to deliver secret messages through some images. Which? Find out in our material.
“The Vengeance Dress”
Princess Diana’s most famous outing took place in June 1994, when she went to a gala reception at the Serpentine Gallery in an off-shoulder, Christina Stambolian little black dress. Later, the image was called “revenge dress”. Initially, Lady Dee was supposed to appear in a less provocative Valentino outfit. But she changed her mind at the last moment. All because there was a scandalous schedule that evening about Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles’ novel. They say the Princess of Wales wanted to “look like a million bucks”. And he definitely succeeded.
sheep sweater
The red sheepskin sweater is one of the most recognizable pieces of Princess Diana’s wardrobe. She first wore it a month before her wedding to Prince Charles. And according to experts, she wanted to convey an important message. The truth is, one of the sheep on the sweater was black, and many took this as a clue that Diana felt like a stranger in the royal family. Also, the expression black sheep (black sheep) has a different meaning and sounds like “white crow” in Russian.
By the way, a few years ago this sweater was sold at an auction for $ 90,000 (about 7 million rubles).
wedding crown
Many articles were written about the wedding image of Princess Diana in the most authoritative glossy magazines. And this is not surprising – every detail of the image was thought out to the smallest detail, and the dress itself was kept in the strictest secrecy until the day of the celebration. They say that there is even a backup version of the image in case information about the wedding dress still leaks to the press. But today we will not talk about a luxurious dress with an 8-meter train, but a tiara in which a hidden meaning is hidden.
Lady Di was of the noble Spencer family and was raised (for a second) with the royal family at Sandringham Palace. Thus, one could boast of the family heirloom, a diamond tiara that belonged to the future princess’ grandmother. Wearing this jewel at the wedding, Diana emphasized her noble origins and paid homage to the Spencer dynasty.
clutch
If you look closely at the photos of Diana Spencer, you can see that she is very fond of clutches. And there is a reason for this love. A few years ago, British designer Anya Hindmarch, with whom Diana often orders bags, said that this accessory primarily serves a practical function and is necessary to close the neckline. The paparazzi’s interest in the Princess of Wales was so great that she had to be on the alert at all times. Especially when you need to lean a little when you get out of the car. Here is such a lifehack from the princess.
Chanel suit
Diana wore Chanel suits quite often before her divorce from Prince Charles, but after that she flatly refused to wear anything with the French brand’s logo. It turned out that the two upside-down “Cs” reminded the princess of the names Charles and Camilla had put together.
Versace mini skirt suit
The divorce from Prince Charles and the long-awaited break from the strict rules of the royal family could not but affect Princess Diana’s style. In 1995, Lady Dee began to appear more and more in miniskirts, dresses with a deep neckline and high-heeled shoes (during marriage, she practically did not wear them, so as not to be taller than her husband). In particular, Diana fell in love with the Versace brand, which became famous for its sexy images. Many experts, including Eloise Moran (who specializes in Princess Diana’s style), believe that with such a radical change in her style, she wants to show that she no longer wants to have anything to do with the royal family.
