and orphanages, helping and comforting the unprivileged she wore more of suits
and jacket dress.

assertive and the media started talking her more seriously.

style statement since Diana wanted people to know her more than just being a
royal princess with a beautiful face.

of her travelling wardrobe particularly during her official visits, for suits
besides relying on to British designers she started wearing lot of Chanel
particularly while visiting Europe.

suits still had a very feminine air around them because of the use of rather
feminine trims like buttons, belts ,laces and buttons.
Hats and Tiaras
Any haute couture fashion is always incomplete
if the accessories are not taken care of, Princess Diana was full aware of
that.

lady had worn besides the famous tiaras and dazzling head bands were some
famous accessories that every lady would envy.
Besides hats and tiaras one unforgettable
fashion statement that Diana flaunted was that of chokers, chunky jeweled with
pearls and emeralds, chokers were her all time favorite something that she
carried off with sophistication and grace that could be only possessed by the
royals.
She was believed to have videotaped every one of
her television appearances, carefully analyzing every detail, including her
hair, makeup and, of course, clothing.
What specially made princess Diana very popular
in her personal as well as public life was her ability to dare and experiment,
as a result she could look sophisticated even in the simplest of attire.
Blessed with a perfect gym toned figure and
height, her modern attire contributed and gave her a very modern and contemporary
chic look.
Much of what made Princess Diana very popular
and beloved by the public was her modern approach to her own life, both public
and private. As with the other great style icons of this century, it was
Dianas ability to look cool and chic in the simplest attire.

modern style of royal dressing she brought world recognition to young British
designers while she was still a British princess.
Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy
were mixed but a popular fascination with the Princess endures.
Princess of Wales was undoubtedly one of the most influential
fashion icons of all the times.
