Princess Diana is an internationally recognized style icon! And even today fashionistas cannot surpass her extravagance and impeccable sense of style in her outfits. At the same time, Lady Di did not hesitate to wear the same outfit several times. She knew how to skillfully change images with the help of bright accents and eye-catching details. Her practicality was famous all over the world, and in every outfit the princess looked impeccable and always in place. There is a lot to learn from Lady Di.
New combination - new image
You can still draw inspiration from the images presented by the Princess of Wales today. Many designers are still amazed at how the wife of the crown prince always managed to look so attractive, although her outfits were not always new.
It often happened that Diana simply combined several outfits she had already worn, and the result was a completely new, unique bow that delighted the fans.
Floral suit
A two-piece suit is always a profitable purchase. It can be worn in one ensemble or, separated, complemented with various wardrobe items.
This way you get completely new bows for every day. Princess Diana actively used this stylistic device several decades ago.
Dress with a full skirt
Lady Di's unusual fluffy knee-length dress with a geometric pattern easily turned into a completely business suit, complemented by a classic long jacket.
You could see such a look in 1987 during an official visit to Lisbon. A few months later, the same dress was perfectly combined with an elongated jacket in white and two-tone shoes. Thanks to this, the outfit acquired a “military” style. This is how Diana was seen at the Cannes Film Festival.
Choker or tiara
In 1985, in Melbourne, a representative of the royal family appeared in a velvet dress and an original choker decorated with precious stones.
Six months later, the choker moved to the princess’s head and became the original tiara. Lady Di complemented it with a stylish flowing dress to match the decoration. In this form she appeared at a party in Tokyo.
Important! Diana skillfully combined items from her own wardrobe. Even experienced stylists could not always tell at first glance whether they were new items or well-disguised old ones.
Today, the experience of a person from the royal family will come in handy for many fashionistas. With the help of a clear example, you can safely create the most unusual and attractive everyday sets. They will not leave others indifferent.
New bows in royal modifications
It is a known fact that Diana often did not spend money on buying new things. She's just suggested that stylists slightly alter a dress or suit to make it look completely different.
Blue dress from the fashion house Catherine Walker
The princess did not want to part with her favorite brand. The blue dress was first worn by the princess during an official visit to Lisbon, which took place in 1987.
Two years later, the outfit evolved into an original sleeveless cocktail dress with a sweetheart neckline. Lady Di chose the modified version as her outfit for a charity ball in London.
Polka Dot Dress
Another example of a successful alteration was a dress in the “polka dot” style. It was first presented to the public at equestrian competitions.
And a few months later, Diana appeared in it again, but it had already undergone some changes.
The dress did not have a fluffy peplum, which was originally the “highlight” of the image. I must say that this did not spoil Lady Di’s image at all.
