A 19-year-old Lady Diana Spencer was photographed wearing a colourful yet casual winter jumper, a white polo neck, khaki-coloured corduroy pants and green rain boots from Hunter, after her engagement to then Prince Charles was announced.

This look is definitely casual for the soon-to-be princess, but is one of her more notable fashion moments. Fair Isle and Aztec-inspired jumpers were on trend in the 80s, as was corduroy, which remains popular in current winter trends.

2. Gloucestershire Cathedral, December 1981

When Princess Diana arrived at Gloucestershire Cathedral for a Christmas service wearing a Cossack-style hat, the world took notice. From her mahogany leather boots to the fur hat and cosy hand warmer, Princess Diana truly embodied winter fashion with this look. Today, the British royals still go the extra mile when it comes to their Christmas church service looks.

After the death of Princess Diana in 1997, Prince William would later gift the ring to his then-fiancée, Kate Middleton. Diamonds from Princess Diana’s private collection were also used in the making of Meghan Markle’s engagement ring, along with a diamond from Botswana, where she and Prince Harry vacationed.

4. Guildford Cathedral, December 1981

Princess Diana, then age 20, wore a festive, bright-red coat with a matching hat before Christmas in 1981. The princess’ hat also came fitted with a sheer-red veil, adding another element of royal glamour to her look.

Diana made an accidental faux pas during her first Christmas as a royal when she gifted Princess Anne a cashmere jumper instead of the traditional “gag gift” the royals exchange on Christmas Eve.

5. Huddersfield, March 1982

This cosy, pink-hued winter coat looked stunning on Princess Diana.

6. Barmouth, Wales, November 1982

Princess Diana looked effortlessly chic in this collared, plaid Arabella Pollen coat with a matching hat.

9. Kensington Palace, December 1983

Princess Diana was a vision in winter white while wearing this cowl-necked jumper, white skirt, red patent-leather boots and matching belt. Midi-length skirts paired with boots are still popular today.

In January 1985, Princess Diana went skiing in Liechtenstein wearing a cosy blue-and-white knit hat and a stylish red ski jacket.

15. Lech, Austria, March 1994

One of Diana’s most famous looks is a large red puffer coat worn with leggings while she was on holiday in Lech, Austria.

Clearly, she wasn’t afraid to take fashion risks after her separation from then Prince Charles in 1992. This look would be completely in style today as puffer coats and jackets are popping up in both the collections of luxury brands and in fast-fashion stores.
