Princess Diana Most Dazzling Dresses

- Has any woman in history better understood the power of clothes than Princess Diana? An icon of 20th-century glamour, she was instinctively aware about how she could communicate with the world simply by what she wore.
Her clothes always sent a message: whether it was ‘revenge’ dressing (such as the time she used a striking little black dress to knock her husband’s adultery confession off the front pages) or representing Britain abroad as a future Queen.
With this in mind, Historic Royal Palaces, the charity that looks after many of our royal buildings, is staging a major new exhibition tracing the evolution of the Princess’s style, 20 years after her death. Through fashion, it examines her extraordinary life, from the demure, romantic outfits of her first public appearances - the ‘Shy Di’ years - to the assured elegance of her later life as a divorcée keen to shed the baggage of her royal role.
Diana: Her Fashion Story will be hosted at Kensington Palace, her former London home, and will feature 25 of her most iconic outfits - from the pussy-bow blouse worn in her engagement portrait to the black ballgown in which she famously danced with actor John Travolta at the White House. The Mail has been given an exclusive preview of all 25 exhibits, which we bring you in glorious detail, starting today.
When you see her dresses in the flesh, what strikes you is just how tiny Diana’s figure was. Since almost all her clothes were couture, their exact measurements were known only to Diana and her designers.
Although she was 5 ft 8 in tall and often looked Amazonian in photographs, she can never have been bigger than a size 10, and at times appears to have been closer to a tiny size 6.
Eleri Lynn, curator of historic dress for Historic Royal Palaces, says putting the exhibition together has given her a newfound respect for the princess. ‘Each of these dresses is a mini-biography. They tell us not just about the period and fashions at the time - many of which she, of course, influenced - but about Diana’s state of mind,’ she says. ‘She didn’t necessarily like being known as a clothes horse, but she knew that clothes helped her do her job.’
As well as a treasure trove of couture, Diana’s wardrobe also hides poignant secrets - as the Mail revealed yesterday. A bottle-green evening dress, designed by Victor Edelstein in 1985, bears a cluster of tiny fingerprints at knee height, made by her sons as they clung to their mother’s legs. Prince William would have been around three, and Prince Harry just a year old.
‘Because it is made from a beautiful silk velvet, heat and moisture can make indentations in the fabric,’ explains Eleri. ‘How magical to think these prints from the princes’ little hands may have lasted all this time.’
The exhibition’s final room holds a number of the dresses Diana auctioned off for charity, at her son William’s suggestion, shortly before her death in 1997. They include a green silk velvet evening dress by Catherine Walker, which she wore for a Vanity Fair photoshoot with Mario Testino, and a beautiful ‘dignified showstopper’ by the same designer, in grey silk satin with imitation pearl embroidery, which she wore to a state dinner with the King of Malaysia in 1992.
‘It was widely reported that the auction was a symbolic event, a way for Diana to close a chapter on her royal life and embark on a new one. Just a few months later, she died,’ says Eleri.’
What, in Eleri’s opinion, are the exhibition’s stand-out pieces?
‘If I had to choose two dresses, her “debs” gown [a flouncy Regamus dress she wore to a ball as a teenager] would be one of them. It’s very of its time, very frilly, very lacy. There’s a real innocence about it.
‘The other would be totally different: the black, halter-neck Catherine Walker dress she wore for the Mario Testino photoshoot just before she died. It’s got such a beautiful, streamlined silhouette and is so simple and understated yet very difficult to pull off.
‘I think the contrast shows just how far Diana had come in her short but incredible life.’
Diana was a trend setter and a fashion icon. Absolutely beautiful.
Lady Diana 🌹 Forever ❤️ 💖❤️🌺🌻💐 Thank you so so so much 🙏❤️
Beautiful inside & out!
Yes I too miss Princess Diana, Her boys are doing her proud seeing her Grandbabies I see her she lives on!
Oh how I miss this AMAZING woman being here among us!!! She was and is everything a Queen should be!!!❤❤❤

Myra Lawson I totally agree it is. Real shame that she was killed. Both you and I know she was killed and why they have to live with that every day and it tortures them as you have probably read Horse Head 🐴 Camilla drinks like a fish and is very abusive to people around her and Charles. Ha!Ha!
Me too 🤓🙋

That's beautiful, such pretty things to wear, The English people should be so proud of their Princess, Diana........
Que lindo video q linda princeza Daiana👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was 10 yrs old when she died and I remember it being one of the most saddest days of my Life! I loved her free spirit classy but fun sort of rock star kick ass attitude! Truly one of a Kind!
Beautiful and humble princess ever.
Diana will always be the Famous Princess.
I often question myself as to why I cannot let her sleep. It is her enduring spirit which has touched not only her/our generation (I am 5 years older that HRH The Princess of Wales, Mother and Grandmother of our future King, and then again, King or Queen); so many peoples across their lifespan......, this must be why. Yes, Myra, I too miss her amazing self, yes too, Gwedoline, such a beauty. Thank you Royal Update for the wonderful presentation.

There never was nor ever will be a royal that drew the attention of the word as she did. A spectacularly good-looking woman with incredible style and the ability to touch people and leave a lasting impression. Her funeral was as dramatic as her marriage.
True but Meghan, her daughter in law is speeding up the rear, she is a stunningly beautiful women. Imagine how she'd look if she embellished with make up. Diana would have loved her. Sadly, that was not to be. Both brothers married well but Meghan has Diana's true visual beauty and spirit.
DIANA LA MÁS BELLA DE TODAS!!!!! ELEGANCIA, PRESTANCIA, INTELIGENCIA, BELLEZA SIN IGUAL !!! DESCANSA EN PAZ DIANA PRINCESA DEL PUEBLO!!!!!!
♥️❣️🌹♥️❣️🌹♥️❣️🌹♥️❣️🌹♥️❣️🌹♥️❣️🌹
Every step a Lady, a Princess and a Queen if they would have let her live. You are so very much missed Princess Diana.
Monika Smith If they had let her live is right She was definitely Murdered. That was no accident She is in a better place now down here is the real hell that is what I. Think anyway. How many times does life kick us in the teeth. And we have to suffer the pain of loss it's. Too hard to stand sometimes .
Thank's for the royal Update for Princes DI....you are alway's in our heart forever ....generation by generation ....
She's always gorgeous no matter what dress she wears
I will always love Diana.
How blessed, she was still alive in people's heart
What an amazing beautiful woman she was, the epitome of grace and elegance.
That’s what Charles hated about her
We will always miss you and for ever lasting love
One & Only Princess 👑 Diana! 🌹💕🙏🏻
Having seen many of these garments at the auction, that maroon embroidered coat jacket had gold and silver threads for those embroidered flowers. Her garments were magnificently done and made British designers look damned good. That little black number was the first thing you saw coming into the exhibit and set the tone of the display wonderfully. Diana did her country proud.
Today is June,8th 2020. Almost 23 years later my heart ♥️ is still so saddened. The loss of this beautiful woman still leaves us empty, angry, and wondering why. I can imagine her in heaven holding hands with all the little children. 🙏😘❤️
Diana is a famous princess and shes good admirable to all viewers. Have a good fashion and elegant..😊😊😊
Beautiful!
Miss you so much ... the people princess

Never get tired to watch her.❤
such beauty
i love all their clothes you are my model ,
She looked beautiful in whatever she wore.
She was the most natural beauty
In side out
I so miss seeing her on my television!!! In the 1980's, I believe we all took her importance, as a woman, as a royal for granted. I wish things had been different for her!!! I think a a hole, she has been and will fade in society, except to us that hold her in high esteem. Long live Diana!
DIANA INOLVIDABLE 💐
ETERNA 🌹💐🌷🌹💐🌹
💓👑💓👑💓👑💓👑💓
No other Royal could match her Sheer Elegance n Pure Humility! Maybe Not in this Lifetime.
Que espectaculares de vestidos 😘
Diana I am 75years old and still crying and missing you. Keep sleeping till we meet again.
Sandra Moore you poor sad person. Need to get out more.
Diana
The clothes on hangers look worthless unless you show her wearing them!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The pink dress is a dream

No one comes close to her fashion until today with young royals.
sempre elegantissima la principessa Diana.
👗👗👗👗👗👗👗 Attn:. Dutches 👑Kate wear all Princess👑 Diana dresses.....👗👗👗 Different styles, but
you would look great on them. 💖💞❤️💕
I love Diana👍
Her death rocked a nation in grief. Charles says if foxhunting is banned he will live abroad. I for one will offer to help pack his bags
jean myers It didn't 'rock me with grief'. Her death had a sense of inevitability about it I think.
jean myers
I would help you 😁
Not Nation, the WHOLE World! Her death rocked a WHOLE WORLD in grief !! :(
Me too he can take the rotwiler too.
A sick sport in my personal opinion....tq
missed that black dress
Miss u princess Dianna hot fashionester a u say fashion
We saw her grow from a young woman with girlish style to a very beautiful woman with fashion style that was quite stunning.
Diana felt she had a mission, and she fulfilled that mission with all her heart.
She showed the world how important and how simple it is at the same time
to care for those who are not on the sunny side of the street. Her nobility re-
sided in her heart..Charles didnt deserve her!
I xxx her
Her personal life aside..........who are we to comment on that........ But she truely was a royal with a deep sense of responsibility towards the well being of the people they ruled....... A beautiful Princess both outside & inside.... a lmost God sent in the way she cared for the upliftment- of its citizens......... . saddening though tragedy struck in the prime of her youth...... God chooses a select few to spread his message.... She was the chosen one...... though my heart goes out to all those who have been affected by the tragedy, specially the 2 Princes & to the Queen, who obviously was very distraught over her sons separation,.....
.
Manjula Adappa From all I’ve learned from various sources about Queen Elizabeth II, she probably didn’t understand Diana and saw her as a loose cannon. Which she was. I’m sure all the controversy around their marriage horrified her. They were ill suited to one another; Charles did his duty and married an aristocrat and sired an heir and a spare. What happened to Diana is tragic. RIP.
sidonie kalla m7y was the
la plus belle femme du monde!!!!
Patrick Navoizat bien sur
Magnifique
I love the music. What is the name and who is the artist?? So relaxing..
BAZAAR ..... WOW 💕💟💕💟💕💟💕
I feel so sad , that such a divine beauty should leave us so early ,, it makes me sad like anything...
Nessuna delle due nuore ha la sua classe,fascino,sembrano finte ,studiate,rigide,niente spontaneità,la sua semplicità era risultato di signorilità innata
Come si vestiva si vestiva aveva un grande stile ciao Ledy DIAna!♥️
Gosh she was beautiful wasn't she.. very sad loss
He left the most beautiful woman in the world beautiful both inside and outside for his 'mother'
That why thank you in your place, outfit, outside and outmost all the times.
Priceza Deana je bila precudovita dobru dusu i srce je imala
All dresses are boring without Diana's beauty.
My thought's exactly!
Love y daina
Oh my goodness, I miss you so much PRINCES AND QUEEN DIANA! Wonderful presentation but pity they included the rottweiler...
😍😍😍😍😍😢😢😢😢
I hope prince William donates the remainder of Diana's dresses to museums all over Great Britain, so that her fans can see what she wore in a hundred years time?.
I think she looked radiant in that tweed suit she wore on her honeymoon. She glowed!
.......then Charles called Camilla....
And everything else she wore was just a beautiful costume!
good video, music is really off putting
Next time slow down the written word...it went too fast, couldn't read entire message.
actually it was TOO slow, just click pause to read.
diana is most beautiful woman in 19 century. charls is unluky who loss him.
Princess Diana we like to see u
Il vestito rosso e nero...il mio preferito...
You can tell when she ventured out on her own.
Still waiting....
Она просто была помешана на барахле - миллион нарядных платьев таких красивых и, очевидно, невероятно дорогих. Сначала разоряла королевскую казну потом переключилась на араба, видно он богаче. В результате от нее избавились - типа несчастный случай
Betapa sadisny cinta segitiga seperti badai yg porak porandakan rumahtangga
How much from the taxes
The subtitles were in a hurry to get away from the screen.
All dresses were dazzling on her-except her wedding dress.
I am not that fond of Charles. But I will say that since Diana's death he has had a sad look about him.
Being married to Camilla that's why.zwhen she was just the mistress it was like a forbidden drug,now we can see that's how Edward V111 felt about Mrs Simpson
Nadie tan carismática como tú. Todo mundo esperaba para verte y al Carlos ni lo fumaban. Creo que por eso eras peligrosa para la "realeza" británica.
Absolutely Queen🦀ruined Diana's life ,
Nagyon gyönyörű nő volt élhet volna még.
Barbara waterman, can you please translate your message, you sent to me? You have a nice day too!
That guitar sound is ear splitting.

Born from ashes has gone in to Ash. Either prince's or begger. Only those win who will survive from hell.
Tinggi semampai tpi kalahsama Camilla yg begitu kejamny masuk ke ranah rumah tangga yg buat hati Diana tak berdaya bercerai dgn seorang angeran Carles
