Princess Diana's sexy revenge outfit: the dress that made fashion history
The revenge body was yesterday. Today we're making it clear to the ex after the breakup with our hottest fumble what he's missing. Best fashion role model: Princess Diana, who once made the press go crazy with her sexy designer dress - and made sure that the world no longer understood Prince Charles.
Trendsetter, style icon, princess of hearts. For numerous outfits, Princess Diana is still praised as the trend-setting fashion icon of the 80s and 90s even 20 years after her death. The reason: Diana's personal development within her own turbulent life and the way in which she presented herself accordingly with her ever-growing sense of style is still unparalleled today. The reserved "Lady Shy" became one of the most fashionable and most photographed women in the world - especially because she turned her inside out with her outfits.
The best example of her fashion strategy is and remains the appearance of the style icon on June 29, 1994, when she appeared gracefully as usual in Kensington Gardens at the annual Vanity Fair dinner - and her outfit screamed for revenge. After separating from Prince Charles in 1992, this evening was supposed to be one last difficult walk for the divorced princess of hearts. The reason: On the same evening, ex-husband Prince Charles would admit to his long-term affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in a television documentary. No wonder that the then 30-year-old wanted to show not only him, but also the world her captivating appeal and attractiveness.
Against this background, the beautiful blonde chose a dress that would make fashion history: a tight, little black dress with side ruffles and a spectacular, shoulder-free neckline - an outfit that three years earlier, according to designer Christina Stambolian, the princess considered “too daring “Felt. But that evening it seemed to be just what she needed.
And it succeeded. Hardly anyone would have thought that the iconic look of the black dress in combination with the pearl necklace was just a stopgap solution. Originally, the mother of two had planned to wear a Valentino dress, which she left hanging in the closet without further ado when a non-agreed press release from the label was published about her planned appearance. The spontaneous decision turned into a real fashion statement. Auction house owner Kerry Taylor agreed: “We called it 'the vengeance dress,'” he recalled and continued: “While many would not have seen themselves able to get through this evening in public, Diana appeared in this dress and just looked stunning. "
No doubt that no other princess ever made her sense of style a weapon as Princess Diana did on this warm June evening.
