Long before the Kardashians and influencers popularized bike shorts, Princess Diana was ahead of the trend. The late royal effortlessly styled everything from skirt suits to the infamous “revenge dress,” but it was her mastery of ’90s athleisure and casual wear that solidified her status as a relatable fashion icon we continue to celebrate today.
Hailey Bieber, founder of the skincare brand ‘Rhode,’ previously honored Princess Diana in a Vogue Paris photoshoot, showcasing some of her iconic outfits. This included oversized blazers paired with baseball caps, sweatshirts worn with bike shorts, and chunky sneakers with crew socks.
“All credit and inspo to the amazingly beautiful and iconically stylish Princess Diana who I’ve looked to for style inspiration for as long as I can remember. Thank you for leaving behind such an iconic fashion and style legacy,” Bieber said at the time, crediting Princess Diana.
“I was really inspired by the fact that she was the most-looked-at woman in the world at that time, of all time, and she did what she wanted with her style,” Hailey said during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
