Britain’s Princess Diana was known for her stylish and daring fashion looks that were as bright and beautiful as herself and her charming personality. From elegant plaid coats to puffer jackets, it’s clear that she had a keen eye for style as many of her looks are still on trend today. Here, we look back at the late beloved royal’s most fashionable cold-weather outfits . 1. Balmoral Estate, May 1981 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. 3. Royal Opera House, December 1981 During a visit to the Royal Opera House in December 1981, Diana looked glamorous in a pure-white coat, pearl jewellery, and her world-famous sapphire engagement ring . 6 of the ever-stylish Princess Charlene of Monaco’s favourite fashion brands 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. She wore the Bellville Sassoon coat as she met with subjects in Huddersfield. The feminine collar was on-trend at the time when big-shouldered silhouettes dominated the 1980s’ fashion trends. 6. Barmouth, Wales, November 1982 Princess Diana looked effortlessly chic in this collared, plaid Arabella Pollen coat with a matching hat. This outfit is quintessentially chic and European, from the puffy beige beret to the plaid print on the princess’ coat and classic button detailing.
