The royal, who tragically passed away at age 36 in a car crash in Paris, continues to be remembered across the globe not just for incredible humanitarian efforts and moving quotes, but also for her signature style and rebellious charm. From the ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown she wore to wed Prince Charles in 1981, to the strapless black mini from 1994 that coined the term “revenge dress”, Diana’s wardrobe was a gift that kept on giving.
On her 63rd birth anniversary, we take a look back at 28 times the people’s princess stole the spotlight with her impeccable style.
