Princess Diana in Bruce Oldfield

Diana, Princess of Wales, was a true trendsetter. Their mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, was known for regularly debuting daring new ensembles, such as this gold lamé Bruce Oldfield ballgown. The Princess looked absolutely stunning in this outfit at the 1985 premiere of the latest James Bond film, A View to Kill. Diana was only 24 when this photo was taken, and she looks like she’s having a blast in her 1980s wardrobe. The use of protective shoulder pads is confirmed. Affirmative on the front of the pleat. Yes, that’s gold lamé. Obviously rocking an ’80s hairstyle as well.

Princess Margaret in Pink

Princess Margaret, the Queen’s younger sister, is also featured in this classic photo. Margaret is pictured here at the White House, wearing a pink dress and jacket and holding her evening gloves. Antony Armstrong-Jones, the president’s husband, is there, as is the president’s wife, Lady Bird Johnson. According to custom, royal women are expected to maintain a certain level of modesty, so sleeveless dresses are generally off-limits. But they can adorn themselves with as many gems as they like!
