Princess Di’s outfits go on show
A STUNNING Grace Kelly-inspired gown worn by Princess Diana to the Cannes Film Festival is to go on display in an exhibition of the late royal’s most memorable outfits.
The 1987 blue silk piece, by Catherine Walker, is one of a number of looks Diana is said to have modelled on film stars.
And according to the creators of Diana: Her Fashion Story, which opens at Kensington Palace on Friday, the princess used to disguise herself in a scarf and sunglasses to visit her local cinema.
Princess Diana was revered as a fashion icon before her death in 1997, with her first official portrait in Vogue in 1981.
