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:
Designer: Catherine Walker
Diana wore this bold dress suit with a custom Kangol hat when she visited a naval base during the 1985 Royal Tour of Italy.

The princess wore this beautiful dress to the Cannes Film Festival in 1987, reportedly inspired by Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief.
Designer: Catherine Walker
It would be a travesty to overlook the outfits Diana wore during her visits to Pakistan during the 90s. She paired this dress with a delicate scarf during her visit to the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore in 1991

It took Pakistani designer Rizwan Beyg a month to design this exclusively for Diana, which she wore at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital fundraising dinner in 1991.

The designer's sherwani inspired shalwar kameez is the desi embodiment of the female power suit, perfect for formal and business wear. Diana wore this while visiting Lahore in 1996.
