Princess Diana's Best Wedding Guest Outfits From the '80s and '90s

It's no secret that we regularly look back to Princess Diana's iconic style for 2019 outfit inspiration. From her summer beach attire to her casual everyday looks, the People's Princess's style is as relevant as ever. So with wedding season upon us (including a certain much-anticipated royal affair), we decided to revisit how she perfected wedding guest style in her own way.

We dug through the archives to find out what she wore to various ceremonies throughout the '80s and '90s—from a viscount's wedding in Windsor to the nuptials of her former roommate Anne Bolton. (Hint: Per royal customs, she always wore a chic hat.) Lady Di particularly favoured skirt suits for weddings, but she added her own flair to the staple by choosing bright colours and fun patterns. Scroll down to see her best wedding guest looks.

Associate Director, Fashion News

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.
