6 Oct
Summary
- Princess Diana's hairstyle change caused public admiration in 1984.
- Queen Elizabeth reportedly disapproved of Diana's daring 1984 hairstyle.
- Diana's fashion choices continue to inspire, influencing modern media adaptations.
Princess Diana's enduring fashion legacy is highlighted, particularly a daring hairstyle choice from 1984. Her brother, Charles Spencer, revealed details in his book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," about an incident at the State Opening of Parliament. Diana opted for a different swept-back updo that, while met with public admiration, reportedly displeased Queen Elizabeth.
The Earl Spencer claims the press focused more on Diana's new hairstyle than on the Queen's address. This shift in attention allegedly caused the Queen's disapproval, despite the public's positive reception. This event underscores the intense media scrutiny Diana faced.
Decades after her passing, Diana's style remains influential. Her signature looks, like the short shaggy 'do, inspired many. Adaptations of her life, such as Kristen Stewart's portrayal in "Spencer," meticulously recreate her iconic appearance, with wigs costing thousands, demonstrating the lasting impact of her fashion choices.
