Princess Diana passed away 24 years ago, and in honour of her legendary style, here are 24 our our favourite looks that will continue to live on

The world stopped when the news broke that Princess Diana died in a car crash. Affectionately known as the people’s princess, she was loved by the public for her angelic face, kind words, charitable deeds, and fabulous sense of style.

Her favourite designers included Catherine Walker, Gianni Versace, Christian Dior and Salvatore Ferragamo, and she was often seen sporting one or more of their pieces at the many events she had to attend.

But even before she married royalty, Lady Di knew exactly what worked for her, and photos of her as a teenager show that she always had excellent taste. We round up some of our favourite fashion moments of hers that we’d still want to wear to this day.
