Lady Di then appeared in the company of Prince Charles, the mayor of Cannes and his deputy. No offense to the princess’s companions, but, to be honest, few people paid attention to them. It’s all about Diana’s luxurious sky-blue dress from designer Catherine Walker. The princess’s bet on color worked, and in such a dress she really looked dazzling . The dress suited the color of Lady Di’s eyes, and its silhouette emphasized her figure.
How Lady Di complemented the image
The dress is, of course, the most important element of Diana’s image. However, she would not look so iconic without harmonious accessories. The chic scarf , which flowed like a train behind Diana, became the highlight of the image. Elegant blue pumps also did the trick. And the finishing touches were jewelry : chandelier earrings with precious stones and a bracelet. Even against the backdrop of diamonds, aquamarines and topazes that decorated the earrings and bracelet, Diana herself looked like the main jewel.
Blue tones were also present in the princess’s makeup . Diana’s signature detail is blue eyeliner. Of course, many at court considered this an excess, so later the queen’s daughter-in-law learned to emphasize her advantages in a different way. Her makeup artist, Mary Greenwell, taught her how to do it.

Rumor has it that Prince Charles was not very happy that his wife was attracting all eyes . But he himself could not do this in a classic tuxedo. Of course, there’s such a woman nearby.
Inspired by Grace Kelly
The princess prepared long and carefully for her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. When creating the dress, the designer and Lady Di were inspired by the image of Grace Kelly in the film To Catch a Thief . Thus, the actress in the film appeared in a flowing chiffon dress in the Greek style. Grace also accessorized with a scarf, which she wore over one shoulder. This dress, like Princess Diana’s outfit, is considered the standard of femininity. Now you can see Diana’s dress in the Kensington Palace Museum.
