When it comes to the British royal family, many people immediately think of the most talked-about fashion celebrities. Among them, the most dazzling is the late Princess Diana. She is not only an outstanding philanthropist, but also conquers the world with her unique fashion taste. Now, Princess Diana's most iconic outfit will be unveiled again to pay the highest tribute to the fashion icon at the upcoming auction.
This time, Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions will present Princess Diana's iconic looks in the exhibition, including dresses designed by Catherine Walker, and hats designed by Philip Somerville.
These clothes can be said to represent Princess Diana's important place in the history of fashion. In addition, she wore cocktail gowns, evening gowns, as well as a variety of dresses, shoes and accessories, all of which exude the unique temperament of the fashion queen. This undoubtedly makes people nostalgic for the moving moments left by this "people's princess".
According to the Daily Mail, many of the costumes in this high-profile lot are closely related to Princess Diana's important moments. For example, she wore the Murray Arbeid gown twice in 1986, once at the premiere of The Phantom of the Opera and once at a banquet hosted by Klaridge for King Constantine of Greece. At that time, she was in her prime, beautiful and unforgettable.
In addition, at the famous charity auction in 1997, Princess Diana also wore a ring worth $200,000-400,000, which is arguably one of her most iconic jewelry. This lot will undoubtedly arouse the reverie of countless people.
Another equally memorable piece was a pair of bright green satin heels worn by Princess Diana to a state dinner at the Dorchester Hotel in 1993. The shoe, designed by Kurt Geiger, has long been considered her signature and was estimated at $2,000 to $4,000 at the time.
Among other things, the Victor Edelstein lace evening gown worn by Princess Diana in 1987 was also a highlight of the sale. This elegant and glamorous gown not only shows off her outstanding figure, but also reveals her unique eye for fashion. Some analysts have estimated it at as high as $200,000 to $400,000.
In addition, a colorful wide-brimmed hat worn by Princess Diana during her royal tour of Australia in 1985 is also believed to be worth between $10,000 and $20,000. This undoubtedly reproduces her unique look at royal events.
This series of refreshing lots undoubtedly makes people respect the fashion taste of this "commoner princess". Not only does she know how to dress elegantly, but she is also a role model in the fashion industry for her ability to subtly integrate her personal style into the solemn image of the royal family.
It is with this unique and charming taste in dressing that Princess Diana has become a world-recognized fashion icon. Even years after her death, her legacy remains in the spotlight and sought after. This auction is undoubtedly the best proof of this.
"Diana may be a princess, but she's charismatic enough to rival Hollywood stars. The head of Julien's Auctions said. They believe that although Princess Diana did not leave any film works, her fashion legacy continues to captivate a wide audience through exquisite dresses and accessories, giving a deeper understanding of the mysterious and charming side of the "people's princess".
As the auction house says, Princess Diana has defied the limits of royalty in both her behavior and fashion choices, leaving behind a legacy that spans generations. Her unique taste and style not only reflect her own charm, but also become an important source of inspiration for future generations of designers.
This was also reflected in recent fashion shows. The new collection of French fashion house Jacquemus pays homage to Princess Diana through a modern lens. The collection includes pearl necklaces, marble dresses and Mary Jane heels, some of Princess Diana's most famous looks.
This can't help but make people sigh that even after many years, Princess Diana's fashion taste is still not outdated, but has become the inspiration for a new generation of designers. Her unique and avant-garde style of dressing has undoubtedly become a major innovator in royal dress, and has also made her an idol for countless fashion lovers around the world.
It is precisely because of Princess Diana's outstanding contribution to the fashion industry that the organizers have also arranged a special touring exhibition, allowing the audience to see the true face of the precious legacy of this "people's princess".
The exhibition "Princess Diana's Elegance and the Royal Collection" will open at K11 Musea in Hong Kong on 18 April, followed by arriving at the Irish Fashion Icon Museum on 11 June.
