PHOTOS: 13 of Princess Diana's most iconic gowns
Titled Diana: Her Fashion Story, the exhibition, which opens February 24 at Princess Diana's former home of over 15 years, will display outfits from throughout her life in the public eye, from evening gowns in the 80s to Catherine Walker suits in the 90s, and will showcase original fashion sketches.
"Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the most photographed women in the world, and every fashion choice she made was closely scrutinised," said exhibition curator Eleri Lynn in a press release Tuesday. "Our exhibition explores the story of a young woman who had to quickly learn the rules of royal and diplomatic dressing, who in the process put the spotlight on the British fashion industry and designers."
Whether it was her feminine and romantic looks in the 80s to her more glamorous and elegant gowns in later years, Princess Diana used fashion not only to set trends but also to call attention to causes she cared about.
From her memorable white wedding dress in 1981 to the iconic blue velvet Victor Edelstein gown she wore to dance with John Travolta at the White House in 1985, we've rounded up some of her most memorable looks below.
