Revisiting five of Princess Diana's iconic looks on her 60th birthday
July 1 marked what would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday and in celebration of the legacy the people's princess left behind, we're remembering her iconic fashion and picking out some of our absolute favourites.
The princess was known for her impeccable taste in fashion ever since she became a member of the British royal family. Many of the outfits she wore on official state trips, charity events and concerts are considered timeless statement pieces that can look just as good in 2021 as they did back in the 80s and 90s.
Here are our top five outfit picks:
