Diana, Princess of Wales

Versace worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996 and 1997 After her divorce, Diana wore more international designers, and Gianni, a friend, dressed her for some of her most visible moments. In 1996 she chose a royal-blue Versace gown for a fundraiser in Sydney and a purple Versace dress for a gala dinner at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, each set off with Jimmy Choo shoes. Pictured is the lilac Atelier Versace skirt suit she wore for her anti-landmines speech at the Red Cross in Washington, D.C., on June 17, 1997. These looks show the house dressing a royal with polish rather than shock. She was among the mourners at his funeral that July.
