Diana, Princess of Wales

The Bond premiere lamé, June 1985 Arriving at the Odeon Leicester Square for the London premiere of A View to a Kill in a liquid metallic lamé gown by Bruce Oldfield, with a deep V-neck, long sleeves and fine pleats falling to the floor. It is pure mid-1980s Hollywood glamour on a royal, and it still sets the bar for royals at Bond premieres: when the Duchess of Cambridge wore a gold Jenny Packham gown to No Time to Die in 2021, the comparisons were instant.
