How Princess Diana’s Little Black Dress Shocked The World

When Diana, Princess of Wales lost her HRH title after her divorce, one dress completed her transformation from oppressed royal to independent woman with her own voice and style.

The iconic little black dress gained infamy when Diana wore it to an event the very same day that her husband, Prince Charles, announced his infidelity on prime time television.

Diana, who’d always been known for her impressive fashion and modern style mixed into conservative royal outfits, was finally free to wear whatever she wanted.

Newly single Diana was empowered through one slim-fitting, off-the shoulder dress. She showed the world that she was still the girl she was before joining the royal family – with a little age, sophistication, wisdom, and maturity thrown in.

After their divorce, Prince Charles and Lady Diana went their separate ways but Diana continued to be beloved by the public as she dedicated her life to charities close to her heart, fashion, and of course, her children.

Diana’s famous black dress lives on in history not because it was what she wore when she got divorced, but because it was what she wore when she was finally allowed to own her womanhood, power, confidence, and control.
