From her ‘Shy Di’ 1981 debut, wearing high-neck printed dresses with pearl buttons and bow details, to the chic skirt suits and power shoulders of the late Eighties and early Nineties, there’s plenty of evidence to back up her status as the most important fashion icon of the era. As Royal Ascot gets underway, we look back at some of her best Ascot fashion moments.
