In the stylish world of royal glam and iconic fashion, Princess Diana‘s wedding dress is arguably the epitome of fairy-tale romance and breathtaking fashion. But little did we and Princess Diana know about a sparkly secret. That’s right, there was always a second backup wedding gown on that day.
We are not lying! Every moment Princess Diana ascended the grand steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral in July 1981, there was another dress sitting silently in the shadows. The gown, crafted by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, was a secret until the very end, and not even Diana herself got to see it.
More than 40 years after the iconic wedding, Elizabeth Emanuel spilled the saying that she didn’t want to worry The Princess with the possibility of a backup wedding gown. They never said a word to her, it was a complete high-fashion secret. Then, she pondered every possible mishap, and thought “I’m gonna make a backup dress,” she decided. So iconic!
Now, Elizabeth Emanuel is set on a new quest, trying to capture the essence of Diana’s legendary gown into a modern tapestry. The idea is to mix the old charms of the dress with a fresh vision. What a way to keep Princess Diana’s style alive!
