Princess Diana is known for many things – including her colourful and daring style. She was known for wearing beautiful gowns, but she’s had some memorable casual looks, too.

We rounded up some of our favourites.

For her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles, Diana wore a gown that fully embraced the style of the 1980s with its giant, puffy sleeves.

That said, the most iconic and daring part of this gown is its train. The train was 25 feet (7.6 metres) long, the longest in royal wedding history.

In 1981, Princess Diana left for her honeymoon in this light, flowery wrap dress by Donald Campbell. She paired it with a pearl choker.

Princess Diana wore a stunning red, sparkly gown by Bellville Sassoon to an event in the summer of 1981. She donned red and silver jewellery and carried a silver clutch to complement the ensemble.

Princess Diana wasn’t afraid to show off her casual style either. She wore plenty of elegant gowns, but her casual fashion moments were just as enviable.
