Fashion of Diana, Princess of Wales

[5] Diana chose not to practise certain royal clothing customs, such as wearing gloves when meeting the public, as she believed it would prevent a direct connection with the people she met, including those affected by serious diseases like AIDS.

[6][7] She wore certain types of clothes at charity events which were appropriate for the people she would meet, including colourful dresses and "jangling jewels" so she could easily play with children at hospitals.

[9] For instance, she wore a red and white polka-dotted dress, reflecting the Japanese flag during her trip in 1986, and chose a traditional shalwar kameez for her 1996 visit to Pakistan.

[9] Her street style featured "statement knitwear": bold, kitschy sweaters from universities and sports teams, often paired with spandex bike shorts.

[2] Throughout her lifetime, she wore notable ensembles by fashion companies including Versace, Armani, Chanel, Dior, Gucci and Clarks.

[20] In 1982, Richard Blackwell ranked her first on his list of "Ten Worst Dressed Women", criticising her for going from "a very young, independent, fresh look" to a "tacky, dowdy" style.

[2] At the end of her life, her wardrobe became more practical with more sensible button-down blouses and skirt suits in an effort to redirect media focus toward her humanitarian work.

[20] At the suggestion of her son, Prince William, she auctioned off dozens of her dresses, including the "Travolta" and "Elvis" ensembles, in 1997, with the proceeds benefiting charities.

[36][37] Copies of Diana's British Vogue-featured pink chiffon blouse by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, which appeared in the magazine on her engagement announcement day, sold in the millions.

"[40][41][42] Diana remained a prominent figure for her fashion style,[21][24] and is still considered an inspiration for stylists,[43] celebrities,[3][15] influencers[44] and young women.

Boyd's pink tricorn hat Diana wore for her honeymoon was later copied by milliners across the world and credited with rebooting an industry in decline for decades.

[45] "Di's incredible relationship with accessible sportswear through to luxury fashion forms the cornerstone of the collection and feels more modern than ever", Reid said about Diana in a press release.

[56][57] Supermodel Naomi Campbell, dressed in a combination of white blazer and cropped spandex leggings in reference to Diana's formal and off-duty styles, closed off the show.

[58] In 2021, Rowing Blazers partnered with Warm & Wonderful to bring back the original "Black Sheep Sweater", just ahead of its appearance on Emma Corrin in The Crown.
