EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous evening in fashion history, as Diana, Princess of Wales graces The British Fashion Awards at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. It was on this memorable occasion, dated 17th October 1989, that Princess Diana donned the iconic "Elvis gown" created by renowned designer Catherine Walker. Although Catherine Walker was nominated for an award that night but didn't emerge victorious, it was Princess Diana who stole the spotlight with her impeccable style and grace. The white silk-crepe sheath dress and matching high-collared jacket adorned with simulated pearls and white sequins became instantly synonymous with this legendary outfit. Diana's choice to nickname it the "Elvis dress" added a touch of whimsy to her ensemble. With her hair elegantly styled in a tight French twist, she exuded timeless beauty and sophistication throughout the ceremony. This photograph captures not only a remarkable moment in fashion but also showcases Princess Diana's innate ability to captivate hearts wherever she went. Her presence at such events solidified her status as a true style icon within the House of Windsor. Preserved through time by Chris Grieve from Memory Lane Prints, this image serves as an enduring reminder of both Princess Diana's lasting impact on fashion and her everlasting legacy as one of Britain's most beloved princesses.
