Head-turning tux:
One of Diana’s most head-turning looks, this glamourous navy tuxedo suit marked her as the first female royal to wear trousers to an evening function. With the large silk lapels and ornate silver buttons, she looks just as boujee as she would in any ball gown (in our humble, biased opinion).

The LBD with a big backstory:
When your husband’s infidelity gets announced to the world, most of us would want the ground to swallow us whole. Not Diana. In one of the world’s most iconic displays of girl power, Diana chose to attend a last-minute gallery opening in this now iconic, off the shoulder, velvet, little black dress. Power to ya girlfriend.
