Having written hundreds of stories covering royal fashion, I consider myself the resident royals expert here at Who What Wear. I've been chronicling the personal style of Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, and the late Princess Diana for nearly a decade and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon—in fact, I've expanded my coverage to include TikTok too! 

I've pored over thousands of images of the British royal family and I can honestly say I've never seen the below images of Princess Diana wearing pink Converse sneakers before. From what I could find, she only wore them twice: once at a polo match in 1986 and again while visiting the British army in 1988. Over 30 years later, the shoes are as cool as ever—and still available to shop. Scroll down to see the rare photos in question and shop pink Converse sneakers for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
