Gianni Versace helped Princess Diana find a new image after her divorce. This was bolder and sexier, preserving inherent to Diana restraint and elegance. Whilst the princess was married, her relationship with the couturier developed very slowly, because Versace's revealing clothes did not pass the royal dress code.The nineties allowed Diana to shine in Versace outfits unashamedly. In 1996, she attended a dinner at the Victor Chang Cardiology Research Institute in a bright blue asymmetric maxi made by Gianni. This iconic outfit was supplemented with a pair of large earrings.
