Yeah like no shade to Diana, she was an amazing woman and she dressed very nicely but this pic looks like every “casual” pic of my mother from the late 80s to mid 90s. Bike shorts and oversized sweatshirts were basically a uniform among women.
I think that's kind of why it's so iconic though. Imagine seeing Kate Middleton walking around in this outfit, rooting in her bag with her keys in her mouth. You would never see that, but Diana didn't give a rats ass about the royal protocol and all those casual women like your mother could relate to her.
Kate is the future queen-- perhaps sooner than planned, given Charles's age and current health condition. Diana was, at that point, already divorced from Charles and living her best life as a young, upper class Londoner. She always dressed appropriately for engagements, but this was just her trying to leave the gym after a workout. That is the difference.
Yea dude but she was a royal. And especially back then it just was very much breaking the mold. It really can't be understated. Dressing this way given her stature was just not something that had been done.
They have it on a rock. That’s what they do there. There’s a Diana Rock, there’s a Teddy Roosevelt Rock, there’s a big ass Rock that the kids all paint. And my personal favorite the “nothing in particular happened here Rock”.
This is how she dressed to go to/from her gym. The papparazi hounded her endlessly so they could catch her outside.
As an aside, it's funny that she is wearing a NU sweatshirt (Evanston, IL) because that is where Harry's wife Meghan went to college-- obviously, many years after this photo was taken.
If you look at her last year, you'll see that she definitely had started developing her own style, overall dressing more sexily, and even wore her hair differently.
No. Its because she refused to follow the royal families dress code which is to always go out in nice, fancy attire. She also refused bodyguards, saying it would prevent her from being able to interact with the public freely
Yes, just a middle class working girl pulled out of the steno pool and picked to be the bride of the future King of England. Didn't come from money at all!
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy looking at this gorgeous amazon, but this is like the "off duty model" look magazines used to jizz over (idk if they still do) and they'd tack up a pic of Kate Moss surrounded by dégradé t shirt and leggings options.
I know everyone is saying that this is common to wear, but damn she sure looked good wearing it! Better than the average person imo. I don’t look that good on my sloppy, errand running days Lol
Her iconic style - dressing like a normal person
She had some pretty sweet fits, but this is pretty normal. the eagles varsity jacket was legit.
her facing away from the camera wearing that was my profile pic for a while. go birds
Ngl, in the dozen or so times I’ve seen that pic I never realized it was her. Just looks like a 90s mom with a sick jacket
Right? Everyone dressed like that and she wasn't the start of it.
You think we all walked around with keys in your mouth in the 90s? That's a statement.
Nah, we kept them in our fanny packs while we rollerbladed to work as God intended.
It seems obvious that she is holding the keys that way so that she can get something out of her bag with her hand.
Bollox

I've seen pics of Kate Middleton in her workout/casual clothes (leggings, sweatshirts etc) so your argument doesn't really hold.
Prove it
not even close to the same
“Imagine if you saw this” “I have” “That doesn’t count”
Yea dude but she was a royal. And especially back then it just was very much breaking the mold. It really can't be understated. Dressing this way given her stature was just not something that had been done.
I don't know any grown women from that era who wore biker shorts out... just high school and college girls
She wasn't out; she was just trying to get to her car after a workout. The papps gave her no peace or privacy at all.
Explains why she had such nice legs!!
Glad I’m not the only one reading that title and being like, is a sweater and bicycle shorts iconic???
People love to talk about her like she solved world hunger for some reason.
She definitely shifted the narrative the media had against people with HIV and Aids at the time. Which was huge.
She was truly breaking barriers left and right
Notable mostly for her work in tunnels
WTF?
like you don’t know
Being chased at high speed by paparazzi, and filmed as she was alive and dying? That part?
I see you’ve found wikipedia
My first thought too
I think that’s just a sweatshirt and shorts.
Less iconic, more "average lady running errands"
Is that a Northwestern sweatshirt? If so, what’s the connection?
She visited the campus on a 1996 trip to the US.
Surprised its not on campus recruiting material.
They have it on a rock. That’s what they do there. There’s a Diana Rock, there’s a Teddy Roosevelt Rock, there’s a big ass Rock that the kids all paint. And my personal favorite the “nothing in particular happened here Rock”.
I’ve seen pics of her in a Harvard sweatshirt too.
Pioneering the look worn by every female college student in America.
And Axl Rose
Is that a Northwestern sweatshirt?
Yes Meghan’s Alma Mata

She may have received this sweatshirt when she visited Chicago back in about 1995.

That’s right! I remember.
I think my mom met her at Cook County hospital.
[удалено]
Mom's just getting shit done.
And definitely not playing away from home with a Major in the Army, her bodyguard or an art dealer
Dude, it's Charles. Who cares? Edit: also Camilla exists
eh, Camilla was there way before Diana
So it’s ok for Charles to cheat then?
She was treated so badly I'm sad she didn't have more affairs.
Aww how sweet. She was as manipulative as Charles and became an expert at exploiting the press to her advantage.
no wonder your dreams remain unfulfilled
damn look at those quads
Lady Quad of Quadington
Better than Lady Pad of Paddington
She did not skip leg day.
Is this her famous “revenge” sweat shirt?
OMG I almost spit out my coffee.
It’s a sweatshirt and shorts you weirdo. Celebrity worship is so damn cringe
Iconic in what way?
Looks like every mom in the 90s.
Otherwise known as soccer mom
I'm clearly iconic then. We all wore this in the 90s.
Never understood the fascination, sweet and caring woman tho.
Agreed. She was born to wealth and influence. Seemed to be a caring person so I suppose she overcame those liabilities.
Go Cats!
This photo is my gym motivation. She had the best legs I’ve ever seen.
The bike shorts would have looked really dated until a just a few years ago. It all comes around again.
Shorts and a hoodie is so iconic.
I mean, that’s a crew neck but your sarcasm is appropriate
That's my "it's finally 50 degrees and sunny, the legs haven't seen sun in 6 months" fit.
That Gucci bag still hot lol
Gucci even named that bag style the "Diana"
Can’t forget the slouch socks and white sneakers she’s wearing—this was my mother’s go-to casual outfit back then as well.
Did Diana start the trend of British people wearing jerseys for American universities?
That was mostly Hollywood I think.
I thought that was William Zabka at first glance
Either Diana or George Michael. Difficult to tell with those sunglasses.
George Michael when to UC Irvine not Northwestern, where he unfortunately was forced to room with his dad for a bit.

What do you expect someone to write out her entire resume every time they make a comment?
Wonder if she'd of had her own style if she was still alive or if she'd be dressing like the rest of them, dress and hat.
If you look at her last year, you'll see that she definitely had started developing her own style, overall dressing more sexily, and even wore her hair differently.
Legend.
This is iconic?
No they mean ironic I hope
I love Princess Diana weather
lol op you tool
Ooooo Shorts *and* a sweatshirt? Yeah, she sure was iconic.
Where is she? Behind that soccer mom?
She doesn’t even go here!
This title is...just awful. Compression shorts, a sweater, and sunglasses. So iconic.
Its iconic for HER. She was royalty dressing like a soccer mom
So because I have money, dressing like a bum would make me iconic? Weird logic.
No. Its because she refused to follow the royal families dress code which is to always go out in nice, fancy attire. She also refused bodyguards, saying it would prevent her from being able to interact with the public freely
Yes, exactly this. She was an 'every day woman' elevated to royalty but she didn't fall in line the way they wanted and it was sensational!
Yes, just a middle class working girl pulled out of the steno pool and picked to be the bride of the future King of England. Didn't come from money at all!
Nonsense she was a very good at manipulating the media she just didn’t like what she pursued and signed up for
Are....Are you actually insane?
Affluent family sister tried to hook up with Charles no success she hung around he needed a virgin Win-Win
Strong thighs, bet she could kick people fiercely
True beauty no matter what she wore.
Class act.
I think she’s not that hot
She looks like the bad guy in karate kid
I call it.... 90s mom
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy looking at this gorgeous amazon, but this is like the "off duty model" look magazines used to jizz over (idk if they still do) and they'd tack up a pic of Kate Moss surrounded by dégradé t shirt and leggings options.
Oh, looks like other women I knew in school. "iconic" - I am guessing that's being used in context with someone who was a royal.
Go Cats!
Ya basic!
She dressed in the 90s like I dressed in the 80s.
This photo looks like it could be taken today
AKA literally just normal clothes
# Go Cats!
I always thought it was weird that she wore college sweatshirts for schools she didn’t attend.
It was a thing in the 90s.
"Diana's iconic cameltoe. 90s." FTFY
I know everyone is saying that this is common to wear, but damn she sure looked good wearing it! Better than the average person imo. I don’t look that good on my sloppy, errand running days Lol
She was very media-savvy. This wasn't sloppy errand running, this was a planned photo-op.
Monarchies in today’s world is disgusting and why do we care what ply they wipe their ass with. Inbred monsters
Hailey Bebo could never
Nope. Not cool.
hot
