Princess Diana's $90 Pink Sneakers Are as Cool as Ever in 2023

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 in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. 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 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
