Princess Diana is arguably the most memorable royal in modern history. Though she died at a tragically young age, her impact can still be felt — not only within the United Kingdom, but throughout the world. Diana's legacy lives on through her humanitarian work, her sons, Princes William and Harry, her fearlessness, and, of course, her iconic fashion moments.
One of those iconic fashion moments came on the heels of another quite iconic moment in the young princess' life. As The Huffington Post reports, on June 29, 1994, Princess Diana arrived to Vanity Fair's annual fundraising event for the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park wearing a midnight-black, off-the-shoulder, curve-hugging cocktail dress with a plunging sweetheart neckline.
The night of the fundraising event just so happened to also be the night Prince Charles admitted in a televised interview that he had been unfaithful in his marriage to Diana, leading many to believe the little black dress was Diana's way of letting the world know she didn't need a prince. "She wanted to look like a million dollars," recalled Diana's former stylist, Anna Harvey, in 2013. "And she did."
