Princess Diana’s Style Will Always Be Iconic, So I Built Outfit “Recipes” Based Off 6 Of Her Most Loved Looks, And Now They’re Helping Me Get Dressed Every Day
Hello! My name is Alana, and I used to work in the fashion industry. I'm starting a series where I try dressing like different styles, trends, celebs, or places each month. Last month I tried dressing like a Pinterest Girl, a popular trend on TikTok, and this month, I'm retreating to more familiar territory: Princess Diana.
Princess Diana is the people's princess for a reason — not only did my grandma love her, but parents and today's youth love her, too (as evidenced by the many TikToks trying to emulate her style). Her legacy lives on in her charitable endeavors, as well as her impeccable taste.
I can only wish to embody even a hair of her charm and taste, but I wanted to try! The thing about Diana's style is it's so effortlessly and undeniably chic, but also quite approachable. Like, she's a radiant beam of light here, but her outfit is so casual, relaxed, and easy. In a sea of micro trends, seeing this is a breath of fresh air.
So, let's get into all the looks recreated! First, I grabbed the style inspo shot of Diana, then I made a little "recipe" cheat sheet for the look, and then I tried it myself. I only used what I had in my closet, so most of these are interpretations, rather than exact copies. But that's what makes it fun!
