This post will teach you everything you need to know about Princess Diana fashion and Diana’s best outfits, as seen on The Crown.

I’ll admit, before this year, I had never seen an episode of The Crown. Aside from the fact that it focuses on the family that holds the crown of England, I knew very little about it. That is, until this year.

While you may think my time at home prompted my interest in the series, or perhaps the Streisand Effect (since members of the royal family tried unsuccessfully to get people to not watch the show by talking about the show), I actually started watching because of Princess Diana.

When I found out she would be featured this season, I was so excited to fast forward through the series to see all the outfits worn by one of the most iconic women in history. Diana is arguably the greatest royal fashion icon of all times, perhaps alongside Grace of Monaco. And her sense of style hasn’t been lost even decades later, with the show highlighting just how exciting her outfits always were.

Looking at what Diana wore and the statements she made, it definitely feels the newer generations of royals have become more conservative in pushing the fashion envelope. But again, Diana never belonged. She was always larger than life. Even in death, her legacy is one of the most memorialized in history.  

From gifting women everywhere with the revenge dress, to transforming casual into elegant, Diana redefined fashion. While always a soft-spoken woman, her clothes and the way she carried them evoked her true self. Always daring, forever elegant, and never dull. 

Today we’re talking all things Princess Diana fashion, as seen on The Crown.
