Princess Diana turned heads when she arrived at a charity event wearing a little black dress. It raised some eyebrows because it was too revealing for a royal wardrobe.

Many believed she broke the royal dress code by wearing what many dubbed as her "revenge dress." However, there are more things to know about the dress.

Princess Diana Wore The Little Black Dress Because She Just Changed Her Mind

Princess Diana wore a black off-the-shoulder mini dress to Vanity Fair's annual fundraising event for the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park on June 29, 1994.

The dress broke the royal dress code as it featured a striking off-the-shoulder design that showed her cleavage. The chiffon dress was also form-fitting which highlighted her figure.

Many called the little black dress Princess Diana wore at a gala after Prince Charles' bombshell confession about having an affair her "revenge dress."

However, it was just a last-minute change for the royal. She was supposed to wear a dress from Valentino at the gala. However, she didn't like it when the fashion house made a premature release announced that she would wear one of their designs.
