Not to mention, the Swan Lake Necklace!!

The other gown I loved her in, I cant remember where she wore it. It was almost exactly the same as Grace Kelly wore in 'To Catch a Thief'. White strapless chiffon whith a kind of Greecan wrap on the bodice. 'The Franklin Mint' is advertising some little statue of her and she's wearing the dress I'm talking about.

If so, Diana's most famous wearing of it was probably July 1987 at the Cannes Film Festival. But she also wore it to a performance of Miss Saigon in September 1989.

She wore it during the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 1987. I think it's the first time she has worn it and the occasion was perfect because it was like honouring Grace Kelly, the actress. Here's a picture .

The dress that Grace was wearing is even more beautiful in person, here in NY there is a Grace, Princess of Monaco exhibit at Sothebys the jewles and dresses this woman wore are breathtaking.

At another event : VARIOUS (Rex Features)

A great idea of Catherine Walker to create this dress for Diana to use in Cannes.

I have a question, on post #10 someone posted a picture of Diana in a Murray Arbeid gown that appears to be black and with this white something on the front of it. I have pictures where she wore it twice. Does anyone have dates for this dress?

Also there is a Victor Edelstein dress in teal green or blue that she must have worn in 1989 because her hair is upswept and another picture I have of her is a portrait of her in a tiara? Any dates where she has her hair up? Thank you

Was that a one-shoulder gown? I have seen two versions of what you discribed, both on formal occasions with the Spencer tiara and emeral choker. They were all from 1988, one from July and another from October.

It has this huge bustle in the back. and has an almost shawl collar but it is off the shoulder. She is wearing her emerald and diamond choker and the emerald and diamond drop earrings, her hair is upswept. Edelstein said he designed the gown for her in the 80's as she asked for a very grand evening dress. Hope that helps a bit.

[linmarylou]

I have another request, boy you guys are going to get sick of me. Does anyone have a picture of Diana attending the premiere of "Hannah & Her Sisters" on 7-30-86? I suppose this should go under film premieres but it would be great if someone had the picture and could post it.
