More photos under the cut!

Since the royal family has been all the talk these past couple of days, stemming from the Oprah interview (which I recommend watching if you haven't already). I figured I would talk about Princess Diana and some of her fashion forward casual looks. From these paparazzi photos you can easily tell that princess Diana was ahead of her time. My personal favorite look is in the last photo. She has on a nice collegiate sweatshirt with some white biker shorts and a gorgeous black crocodile handbag with gold hardware. and of course a pair of casual tennis sneakers. This is the perfect example of being casual yet fashion forward, and it is a look that can be reflected in todays style amid the pandemic. Mixing casual with nice “fashion forward” accessories. Princess Diana was and always will be the “Queen of Peoples’ Hearts”.
