Fans of the late Princess Diana will now have a chance to see her wedding gown in person after decades.
Princess Diana might have left us long ago, but her memory surely lives on. On June 3, her fans will have the chance to marvel at her iconic wedding gown in an upcoming fashion exhibit at the Kensington Palace, 40 years after she wore it down the aisle.
On Monday, April 26, the curators of the Historical Royal palaces announced that the wedding gown of the late Princess Diana will be included as the centerpiece of the limited time only exhibit called “Royal Style in the Making.”
The said fashion exhibit will open on June 3 at the Orangery of Kensington Palace and Princess Diana's sons Prince Harry and Prince William have both reportedly given their permission to include their mother's gown in the exhibit.
It will be the first time that the wedding gown will be on public display since Princess Diana married Prince Charles and lived in the Royal Palace.
The iconic wedding gown was designed by fashion designers and royal couturiers Elizabeth and David Emanuel.
It is said to have the longest train in royal history, which measures 25 feet and covered in sequins.
Other features of Princess Diana's wedding gown are its scoop neckline with bow and flounce collar, big puffy sleeves, taffeta ruffles, and a fitted bodice with panels made with antique Carrickmacross lace, which first belonged to Prince Charles's great-grandmother, Queen Mary.
Princess Diana, who many consider as the “most favorite royal bride of all time,” wore the stunning wedding gown in July 29, 1981, when she married Prince Charles at the Saint Paul's Cathedral.
The historic royal wedding ceremony was reportedly watched by over 700 million people all over the world.
Aside from Princess Diana's gown, another never-before-seen historical piece that will be included in the exhibit is a rare surviving toile for the Queen Elizabeth I's 1937 coronation gown.
The fashion exhibit in June will kickstart a number of commemorative events that will pay tribute to Princess Diana on what would have been her 60th birthday.
On July 1, a statue of Princess Diana will be installed at Kensington Palace to mark the 20th anniversary of her death.
The stature was commissioned by her sons Prince Harry and Prince William to “recognize her positive impact in the UK and around the world.
