Princess Diana’s Style Evolution From Young Lady To Royal Icon

Apr 06, 2020 by apost team

With the nickname the People's Princess, Diana has always been in the public eye. As she progressed as a person, so did Diana's beauty and fashion style. Princess Diana has always been a royal style icon with her early youthful and feminine looks to her later decade-appropriate experimentation with feathered hairstyles. 

Early Princess Diana embodied a feminine innocence that was accentuated by her sleek hair and full bangs. This photo from 1970 shows the young royal holding a croquet mallet and wearing a more tomboy-ish look during a game at Itchenor, West Sussex.

In this 1980 London photo, Princess Diana is just nineteen years old. The 80's really gave Princess Diana the opportunity to try out some trends of the decade, including a feathered bob. This 1980 look paired a demure fashion sense with an edgier hairstyle.

For her wedding to Prince Charles, Princess Diana softened her fringed bob for a more sleek look. She harkens back to her more feminine side with the soft hairstyle she donned for her wedding at St. Paul's Cathedral in 1981. This event in Diana's life and more were covered in the documentary 'The Story of Diana,' released to memorialize the 20th anniversary of Diana's untimely death.

Diana traded in her bob for a longer, shoulder-length look that softly framed her face as she visited what was the Deaf, Blind and Rubella Council Family Centre in 1984. Her delicate curls accentuated her warm character as she paired the look with a pink coat jacket and pearl earrings.

She later returned to her shorter hairstyle, and paired it with intricate beading during her visit to Pakistan in 1991.
