These quotes epitomise Diana in my view, she was quite the enigma - appearing very shy, coy and elegant but she definitely had a more 'outrageous' side as you will see from the below outfits.


Each piece was unique in texture, style and colour which I love, as royal fashion can be quite tedious at times - very repetitive of what you'd expect a queen or princess to wear, but not for Diana.

Most pieces were created by Catherine Walker or Emanuel, and each designer really worked closely with her to fit her style and the occasion for which she would wear the outfit. Earlier outfits as seen below, were more reserved and structured, to suit royal engagements.



These two dresses are much more form fitting and sexy, something you'd expect a movie star to wear - which is partly what contributed to her inimitable appeal. I love the draping and cobalt blue tone of the below piece.



This piece is so stunning, it features on the ad for the exhibit and was taken by Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue I believe. This was designed by Versace, and this style is very similar to the opulence still visible in Versace designs.



This was also a more casual, daring choice - above the knee and showing more skin than would be appropriate at a royal function. The beading and floral design really shows how elegantly feminine Diana's style always was.
