Nobody could ever forget Princess Diana, but perhaps you're thinking about her a little more these days because you recently binge-watched The Crown and noticed the striking similarities [1], or maybe it's because you saw some similarities between her go-to eye makeup and the look Meghan Markle wore for her Oprah interview [2]. Whatever the case may be, we can't help but feel a little nostalgic looking back.
Despite her repeatedly sophisticated makeup looks, the one thing she never changed was her quintessentially '80s coiffure [3]. With her swept-back blowouts, ashy blond hair color, and voluminous pixie cut (that often grew out to bob haircut length [4]), Diana embodied the aesthetic of an equally modern and glamorous royal. Read on to reminisce on her best moments.
