From Blush to Fuchsia: 25+ Outfits That Prove Princess Diana Was in Love With the Color Pink

It’s no secret that Princess Diana is a style icon. From ‘80s swagger to demure English rose, Diana could pull off just about anything. But, have you ever noticed how much the royal liked to wear pink? Whether it was blush or bubblegum, fuchsia or magenta, Diana loved to look perfect in pink. Join us as we take a look at some of Princess Diana’s most pretty pink outfits. There’s no doubt pink was her favorite color!

Deep Pink Victor Edelstein

As a fashionista, Princess Diana had her favored designers. One of those was courtier Victor Edelstein, who was considered the English Oscar de la Renta. Looking at this deep pink Edelstein gown, there’s no surprise that the designer was known for the “English thoroughbred” look.

On this occasion, Princess Diana was attending a recital by New Zealand opera singer Kiri Te Kanawa. She paired the striking cowl back gown with a matching clutch and her signature warm smile.

Pinstripe and Pleated Pink

In this more demure ensemble, Princess Diana wears a sugary tone of baby pink. This stunning pinstripe pink dress was designed by Catherine Walker, another favorite of the Princess. The matching pink hat is by Scottish milliner John Boyd, who made hats for three generations of Diana’s family.

This perfectly pink outfit was from the Royal Tour of Italy in 1985. Diana accessorized this look with a pearl choker, a white clutch, and her famed sapphire engagement ring.

Polka Dot Pink Pleats

Here we have the first of several pictures of Princess Diana with family — here Prince Harry. This snap was taken at Clarence House in London at the celebrations for the Queen Mother’s 92nd birthday. Just out of the ‘80s, this outfit is from 1992.

This celebratory pink outfit features a polka dot sheath dress with a pleated skirt. The matching jacket creates a pop of perfect pink, a relief against a sea of black. At this stage, Diana’s hair was ‘90s style short.

Satin Pink at the Ballet

Princess Diana’s next pink outfit is a whole lot of ‘80s fashion in one dress. This floor-length, pink satin, off-the-shoulder gown was designed by French designer Catherine Walker. The designer made over 1,000 outfits for the Princess, starting just three months after her royal wedding to Prince Charles.

Princess Diana wore this pink satin gown to The Royal Ballet at the Berlin Opera House in 1987. Not afraid to wear clothing twice, she wore it again the following year to meet the President of Turkey.
