What Princess Diana Wore to Weddings in the '80s and '90s

It's no secret that we regularly look back to Princess Diana's iconic style for present-day outfit inspiration. From her vacation looks to her casual sneaker style, the people's princess's style is as relevant as ever. So with engagement season upon us, 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 favored skirt suits for weddings, but she added her own flair to the staple by choosing bright colors and fun patterns. (Neon green, anyone?) Scroll down to see Princess Diana's best wedding guest looks of all time and shop royalty-worthy skirts 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.
