And another memorable outfit is the red ‘black sheep’ sweater, worn at polo matches she went to with King Charles during the 80s and 90s.
Much like the celeb slogan tee of today, the jumper can be viewed as a nod to how she was really feeling – like the odd one out in the Royal Family.
And now, you can get your hands on Diana’s actual jumper, as it goes up for auction at Sotheby’s.
There is one catch though – you’ll need to be prepared to part with some serious cash, as it’s expected to fetch up to £70,000.
However, if spending the equivalent of a house deposit on a jumper isn’t quite realistic for you (same here), then never fear – we have some more affordable alternatives.
After all, who wouldn’t want to dress like a royal fashion icon?
