An appearance so renowned it developed a whole brand-new category in style: the vengeance gown.
The term was created when Princess Diana enabled her gown to do the talking for her after her bitter divorce from Prince Charles The late Princess of Wales infamously used an off-the-shoulder LBD created by Christian Stambolin at the Serpentine Gallery Party in 1994, an occasion that took put on the night ITV aired a documentary in which her then-estranged other half Prince Charles confessed to having an affair with now-wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, throughout his marital relationship toDiana
According to Tina Brown‘s 2007 biographical book The Diana Chronicles, Christian informed a style analyst that Diana “selected not to play the scene like Odette [from Swan Lake], innocent in white. She was plainly mad. She played it like Odile, in black. She used intense red nail enamel, which we had actually never ever seen her do previously. She was stating, ‘Let’s be wicked tonight!'”
