Watch Online / Diana: The Power Dressing Years
Desc: Diana: The Power Dressing Years: Directed by Hannah Summer. Diana, Princess of Wales, is one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. She reached a new level of fame due to the ongoing media attention, one that no other royal before or after could ever have imagined. Diana stood at a model-like 5 feet 10 inches tall, both dazzling and subdued. When out in public, Dianna always extended a warm embrace to a complete stranger. She possessed attributes the royal family had not yet displayed, like being emotional, expressive, and, most importantly, accessible. Diana's status as Charles's bride would have earned her a place on the front page regardless. But her clothing kept her there, day after day. In the years after their divorce, Diana hit her stride and began writing her own fashion rules, donning the latest trends from Jimmy Choos to Dior bags, Versace evening gowns and Chanel suits. No one had ever done it like Di, and no one has since. While Princess Diana's legacy extends far beyond fashion, she is perhaps the most influential fashion icon of the 20th century. Her clothes were not just choices but statements. Every look she gave reflected where she was at that particular time.
