Royal fans and fashion enthusiasts will have a chance to see Princess Diana’s wedding gown in person, as it will be part of the display at Kensington Palace’s "Royal Style in the Making" exhibition in June.
On July 29, 1981, Diana Spencer married Prince Charles in a Royal Wedding that was airedin over 50 countries.
The princess donned a wedding gown by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, an iconic piece that continues to be talked about even decades later.
Now Royal fans and fashion enthusiasts will have a chance to see the wedding gown in person, as it will be part of the display at Kensington Palace – which Princess Diana chose as her home – in June.
Her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, gave their approval to have the gown displayed as the centerpiece for the "Royal Style in the Making" exhibition created for royal fans this summer.
The gown features huge puff sleeves with ruffles, lace, and bows as accents.
The classic gown also features a 25-foot train which the Princess of Wales unveiled on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral before her marriage to Prince Charles.
Aside from showcasing the Royal Family's style that has evolved through the years, the exhibition sheds light on the relationship between fashion designers and the royals.
It will also include other historic fashion pieces, such as a rare toile from the Queen Mother's 1937 coronation gown.
According to Matthew Storey, an exhibition curator at Historic Royal Palaces, they have great surprises for fashion fans planning to visit the exhibit aside from Diana's wedding dress.
Discussing the exhibit some more, he said:
"[The exhibition] will shine a spotlight on some of the greatest talents of British design, whose work has been instrumental in shaping the visual identity of the Royal Family."
The upcoming exhibition commemorates the start of a series of celebrations for the late princess.
As she would have turned 60 on July 1, her sons will be unveiling a statue of their mother on the palace grounds.
The beloved princess died in 1997 after a fatal car crash in Paris, a year after her divorce from Prince Charles. (MOO)
