Princess Diana's Best Style Moments Ever

Innately tied to her memory is Princess Diana's fashion sense, which changed as she grew into her role as as a beloved public figure. Here, a look back at 75 of her chicest outfits.

BBTB. (Bring Back the Bolero. Please sign my petition.)

Not what you expected, eh? That's what makes it so great and modern, as the celebrity-off-duty look in beta. Or alpha.

Not an ad for Yves Saint Laurent, but very well could be.

Another wonderful evening option, this one with an off-the-shoulder neckline and yards of pink satin.

But our very favorites might be the ones in simpler silhouettes, which she tended to favor later.

Though velvet is never a bad idea.

See—more velvet. (Bruce Oldfield ain't bad either.)

Wowza.

How is this real?

Regal. Statuesque.

Versus an interesting juxtaposition—even just in her sartorial choices, she grew so much in a few years.

The original end-of-the-night, into-the-car pap shot.

Even in costume—at a Canadian barbecue, no less—she looked like a queen.

The sheerness makes this feel really fresh.

BBTH. (Bring Back the Halter. Sign my other petition.)

So '80s, kind of frivolous, but still marvelous.

Love a drop waist.

It might not be your first guess, but red was definitely one of Princess Di's best colors.

If it isn't there already, this fire Christina Stambolian number will live in the "fashion" section of your brain forever. Phew.

Raise your hand if you're having an extremely rough time deciding whether '80s or '90s Diana is the best.

This COLOR.

Sequins by Catherine Walker.

Nice color, nicer accessorizing.

I love this period in her style. Too chic.

Ideas in styling: Wearing a necklace as a headband and a massive bow on your shoulder.

Before it all began.

Versus near the too-soon end.

Top 10, for sure.

And now, let us admire some headwear, starting with schooner of a hat.

And this jaunty, feathery chapeau.

This confection is by Murray Arbeid; the crown is by the monarchy.

How could we not include her wedding gown, with its tremendous train?

Few women could pull off powder blue hip pads, but somehow, she does.

The event might've been boring, but the dress is not.

She could've only worn halter-neck dresses in different colors and fabrics, and we still would've made this gallery.

A maternity gown straight out of Dangerous Liaisons.

And the baby himself, welcomed in pink.

Ah, the "Elvis dress," designed by Catherine Walker.

Another Catherine Walker creation with ultra-flattering ruching at the waist.

Somebody has to have made this into a poster, right?

Romantic florals for a performance of Romeo and Juliet.

Sharpen up that resolution, and this photo could be from yesterday.

Wearing Catherine Walker on a visit to Saudi Arabia.

Zandra Rhodes. Trompe l'oeil. Gold.

"Epic" and "paisley," two words you never really see together.

The best of '80s campiness.

Star power—and her secret "cleavage bags"—in action.

See what we mean about red?

The power of the print.

Goodbye (from Nancy Reagan too). And thank you.

Pretty in pink.

Great outfit, for the polo match. A sailor top with a floral skirt.

An unforgettable color-block moment by Catherine Walker.

Lady D attended the Met Ball in her iconic choker and slip-like dress.

An on point neutral look.

A white and pink dress by Catherine Walker for the performance of "Swan Lake".

A velvet and lace affair.

Tartan from head to toe.

She never met a puff sleeve she didn't love

A mismatched glove moment.

Matching suit and pussy bow blouse are quite the pair.

A collar moment, that is very on trend today.

The green ballgown always goes.

A simple yet sophisticated look.

A neutral color block outfit is right for every occasion.

Dazzling in a white Versace dress.

This black velvet and taffeta gown is one to remember.

The red and black combo was always one of her favorites.

Polka dots are always a good idea.

Styling idea: Top of your look with a floral hair piece.

The little white dress is perfect for an evening event.

Lady D's purple ensemble, in Versace gown and Jimmy Choo heels.

Frilled collar and puff sleeves dress by Gina Fratini.

Lace and pearls.
