Princess Diana carried the state of fashion and revolutionized the way royals were seen and interacted with the public.

However, before Princess Diana donned that headline-making dress, she wore another piece of clothing that made history.

Diana had challenged conservative gender roles and the customs of Buckingham Palace with one outfit.

“Diana’s power suits mirrored her bold, unique, and influential personality.

“Diana had a daring sense of fashion, reflecting her nonconformist attitude to the world.

She wasn’t afraid of being different or the ever-increasing media controversies.

She claimed ownership of her life and wasn’t shy from speaking up about her struggles.

Her power suits were designed to fit her unapologetic and confident personality.”

She opened up about her experience during an interview with BBC.

As the People’s Princess, Diana wanted her outfits to give her a sense of approachability.

As gloves were historically used to signify status, it was a pretty big deal.
