These images were shot on the weekend and made headlines. Debicki wore the famous black ‘revenge dress’ on set. This dress was worn by Diana at the summer party of Serpentine Gallery in London in 1994.
Princess Diana Was Never Going to Wear the Revenge Dress. Why Did She?
The famous off-the-shoulder chiffon dress was a complete fashion statement in 1994. It was designed by the Greek designer Christina Stambolian. This dress had a sweetheart neckline along with a flowy black trail.
Along with the dress, she had added further accessories which were Manolo Blahnik high heels, a choker necklace, and sheer black tights.
This dress was later on known as the “revenge dress”. This was so-called because Princess Diana wore it on the same day when Prince Charles had made a public announcement about his affair with Camilla Parker. Further, a documentary was also made named Charles: Private Man, The Public Role.
Diana initially had planned to wear another designer dress however after the announcement she changed her mind. Later on, the brand made a statement that they would be dressing her for the event.
However, she changed her mind and chose the Christina Stambolian dress. She had owned that dress since 1991 and bought it on a shopping trip with her brother.

Diana’s stylist, Anna Harvey, who worked with her for many years, even said in the report that “ Princess Diana wanted to look a million dollars and she did.
As per Tina Brown, initially, the invitation was turned down by Diana to be at the party that night, She kept denying it for 2 days until the news was spread in promotion of the broadcast as written by Tina Brown in The Diana Chronicles.
Just after the news, there was a surprise call from one of the organizers of the Gala who also was an old family friend of Dian. He receives a phone call mentioning Diana is attending the party after. When asked what she was up to? She said You’ll see.
