    In 1997, Princess Diana attended the Tate Gallery‘s Centenary Gala on her birthday in London. The royal, who at this time had been divorced from then-Prince Charles for nearly a year, wore a sleek black gown courtesy of Moroccan-born, London-based fashion designer Jacques Azagury.

    The dress featured thin straps, a square neckline and a formfitting silhouette with a flowing skirt. The dress featured all-over shimmering elements, adding a touch of sparkle to the little black dress. Princess Diana accessorized the dress with a choker necklace with green gemstones, delicate bracelets and statement earrings.

    “She loved black, particularly toward the later parts of her life once she divorced because before that she wasn’t able to wear black — as soon as she was able to be fully fledged into black, she looked sensational [especially] with her skin color, blue eyes and blonde hair,” Azagury said in a 2023 interview, per WWD. The black gown was auctioned off in 2023.

    Known for her more glamorous wardrobe pieces, Princess Diana also styled casual attire with her signature spin of accessibility and trendiness. On the occasion of her 29th birthday in 1990, the late Princess of Wales wore a high-waisted floral skirt with a brown belt at the waist to define her silhouette. She paired the skirt with a classic white T-shirt beneath a blue collared shirt with subtle buttons and breast pockets. Her floral skirt coordinated seamlessly with her botanical-inspired flats.

    Nearly one year following her marriage to then-Prince Charles, Princess Diana celebrated her 22nd birthday on the couple’s royal visit to Canada. The late British royal opted for a playful pattern during the summertime visit, wearing a dress with a high neckline and fuchsia polka dots against a dark navy base fabric. She paired the dress with a fuchsia jacket with slightly exaggerated shoulders and long sleeves and wore a navy hat with a wide brim to complete her birthday ensemble.
