  • July 1981

    1 of 25

    With all the excitement surrounding William and Kate's wedding, we couldn't help but think of his mother, Diana, and how she looked on her wedding day...and all the days that came after. Here's a look back at the evolution of her style.

  • January 1970

    2 of 25

    Young Diana Spencer seemed to have a touch of tomboy style, especially on the croquet court.

  • January 1971

    3 of 25

    We can't get enough of Di's hat. It's the sort of understated chic that she worked hard to maintain, even during her most ceremonial of public appearances.

  • June 1981

    4 of 25

    Here she looks less like a princess-to-be and more like a girl you might have gone to high school with.

  • November 1981

    5 of 25

    A more formal Diana emerged once she married Charles. Her coats and hats soon became national (and international) news.

  • January 1982

    6 of 25

    Wow. Maternity style sure has come a long way since Diana was pregant with William.

  • December 1982

    7 of 25

    Velvet, feathers and a veil. It's all so very British, in the best way.

  • April 1983

    8 of 25

    We are always and forever impressed by a real-deal crown.

  • August 1983

    9 of 25

    Holy high fashion, princess! The fashion-lover that Diana became later in her life started emerging with this ultra-chic outfit.

  • July 1984

    10 of 25

    We're guessing column dress sales went through the roof at Harrods after Di wore this pink number.

  • March 1985

    11 of 25

    This feels very Belle in Beauty and the Beast, no? Maybe the illustrators used this dress for inspiration. And check out those gold shoes!

  • May 1985

    12 of 25

    Now that is a whole lot of collar, teal and plaid. There are some things about the '80s that we certainly don't miss.

  • July 1985

    13 of 25

    Here Diana shows off her glitzy side on the red carpet. And we daresay she looked like she was enjoying herself.

  • November 1985

    14 of 25

    The princess was the picture of elegance in a long, black gown during her very famous dance with John Travolta.

  • November 1985

    15 of 25

    Hats like this make us wish these statement-makers were more popular in America.

  • November 1985

    16 of 25

    She may have been a princess, but Diana worked out just like other ladies of the '80s...in bike shorts.

  • January 1986

    17 of 25

    Throughout her international travels, Diana was lucky to collect many fashions and prints native to the countries she visited.

  • May 1986

    18 of 25

    Diana usually kept her hairstyles quite simply. This is one of the few times we saw her with a hair accessory that wasn't a hat or a crown.

  • November 1986

    19 of 25

    As much as we loved seeing her gussied up in fashion's finest, the relaxed and comfortably dressed Di here looks so much happier.

  • November 1987

    20 of 25

    We applaud the color coordination of the dress, the hose, the gloves and the shoes.

  • March 1988

    21 of 25

    Even while vacationing in the mountains, princesses must look their best—as evidenced here by besties Diana and Fergie.

  • March 1993

    22 of 25

    Maybe Diana doubled up on the denim because she got to wear it so infrequently. Sidenote: How cute and tiny do Wills and Harry look?

  • September 1995

    23 of 25

    During the last few years of her life, Diana embraced a sexier style, and the world loved it.

  • November 1995

    24 of 25

    Perhaps it was friends like the late designer Gianni Versace who helped Di feel comfortable showing some leg.

  • June 1997

    25 of 25

    Taken just months before her death, this happy glowing Di in a gorgeous blue cocktail dress is one of the ways we'll always remember her.
