Princess Diana: Revealed! Surprising detail about the Met Gala dress

Princess Diana: She changed her design

She is the first royal to appear at the Met Gala: Princess Diana. She appeared in a deep blue silky slip dress designed by designer John Galliano, who was working for the fashion house Dior at the time. The dress featured delicate lace trim at the neckline that met delicate spaghetti straps. The slight sheen of the silky material looked noble and exciting, yet not too noticeable or even too clumsy for a princess. But just eye-catching enough to bridge the gap between sexy and glamorous. Princess Diana took just a few months after divorcing the future King Charles, 75, part and left a powerful impression in the silky material.

Princess Diana knew exactly what she wanted

Galliano spoke in the documentary about the magic of creating a bespoke look for Diana. They discussed the drawings at Kensington Palace. “I tried to push her towards pinkbut she didn’t want it. ‘No, not the pink!’ That was really, really funny,” Galliano said. When it finally came to the final moment and Diana got out of the car for the Met Gala, he was amazed, as he recounts: “I couldn’t believe it. She had ripped out the corset.” Because the blue silk dress was actually designed much more sensually with this addition. “She felt so liberated,” he explains, and her performance seemed to gain even more individuality and self-expression, exactly what Diana stands for. She completed her gala look with statement earrings and a pearl and sapphire necklace, as well as the small navy quilted Dior bag, which the label renamed Lady Dior in her honor.
