Lady Diana's statement fashion - and the timeless appeal of 'revenge looks'

Princess Diana’s penchant for a prairie collar and a sweats-and-bicycle-short combo might read like a contemporary guide to cottagecore and athleisure dressing. However author Eloise Moran’s passion for Diana’s style is more prescient than reactive as Ruth O’Connor discovered when she caught up with the author from her LA home.

Some of the timeless looks rocked by Diana Spencer, former Princess of Wales

Eloise Moran has a passion for fashion, working as a copywriter for fashion brands since her early 20s. In 2018, the Londoner established the Instagram account @ladydirevengelooks, as a joke among friends following the collapse of her marriage when she was 25.

Little did she know that her tongue-in-cheek celebration of the fiercest post-divorce looks of Britain’s Princess Diana would garner 117,000 followers on Instagram and lead to her first book, The Lady Di Look Book: What Diana Was Trying to Tell us Through her Clothes, a joyful, irreverent, but empowering photographic catalogue of the style of the princess turned style icon.
