Princess Diana's Most Iconic Outfits

The looks people still picture when they think of Diana, Princess of Wales, from the off-the-rack engagement suit of 1981 to the clothes she wore in the last summer of her life in 1997. Each photo shows a particular outfit on the day it was worn. To earn a place, a look had to be remembered for itself: copied, auctioned, written about for decades or tied to a moment that changed how she was seen. The gallery runs in date order, so the shift from frilled 1980s gowns to the sleek 1990s Versace and Dior years plays out as you scroll. Her wedding dress is left out so the focus stays on the clothes she wore as a working royal and after.
