Princess Diana October 1994

I just read a Vanity Fair article about her fashion. She wore this outfit 26 years ago, but it could still be worn today. The accessories would probably be considered too matchy matchy in 2020. And you have to have good legs to wear those pants in that color. Shoulder pads are the only thing that make the blazer look 90's, and they're coming back again.

I think today it would be called a dowdy and boring and matronly outfit. Like so many things Kate wears and is criticized for.

If Di wore this today, it would only need a tiny tweek.

I often think about how she would be dressing if she was still here. She would be as stylish as she always was.

Love the outfit and the shoulder pads. I've always loved shoulder pads and hate that they went out of style. Maybe change the jacket but other than that, it's good. She looks great in this photo.

Clean and classic. I think that if the shoulder pads were smaller (she had broad shoulders anyway) and the jacket were a bit cropped, the outfit would show off her great figure to even better advantage.

Princess Diana and her personal fashion style definitely blossomed once she was free from the restrictions of Royal protocol.

@Greeneyedlady21 I would wear that today save the leather items: bag, shoes and belt. I would not wear a belt (because I need a column look). I had a similar color but crop jacket in the 1990s. I see nothing wrong with total ivory look. I just never liked spectator sport shoes and bags (even when I painted my mother's when I was 4 years old because I did not like them) . I did not like the punishment I received either.

I don't think shoulder pads like that will ever come back. It looks like the hanger is still in the jacket. I don't remember pants being that skinny in the 90's. It's a classic outfit so it doesn't look dated. Except for the jacket and the belt, which doesn't go with the outfit at all.

@Greeneyedlady21

She'd be stylish but she certainly wouldn't be dressing like it's 1995.

'Every once in awhile' I think of Princess Diana, and her tragedy suddenly seems to become a reality.

RIP, dear Princess.

Re: this photo:

I like the entire outfit, only with smaller shoulder pads, and perhaps charcoal grey or black pants.

She had team of stylists shopping for her and dressing her. Her own team, not the palace's team.

I adored her! And as the British say -- She looks smashing! Makes you wonder what her fashion choices would have been like today if she were still with us? I'm sure they would be just as stylish and amazing!

I know I am in the very small minority, I but never thought she was all that good looking. Stylish though? yes.

Too funny.....I just now opened this thread and thought to myself, what a timeless look. Then I noticed the shoulder pads and then I read your post.

I never saw a bad picture of her ....... so photogenic.. and watching her evolve in clothing styles was what we all did ..... and still do apparently.
