Can a dress be revealing? The answer is always yes. The dress that proved the infidelity of a president of the United States, the dress that turned an actress into a princess, the dress that changed the course of fashion… A dress is much more than just a garment. For this reason, on the anniversary of the death of Diana of Wales, one of her most iconic looks comes to mind. It’s not the ostentatious wedding dress in which she signed her sentence of unhappiness, nor any of the ones she’s worn over the years in her charity work.
The dress that marked a milestone in the life of Lady Di
It is a black dress signed by Catherine Walker, fitted, with a bateau neckline that revealed her chest, crowned by a pretty necklace, with a thin layer of tulle and dark stockings. It is not just another dress, it is the so-called ‘revenge dress’, the one with which Diana of Wales, the ill-fated ‘People’s Princess’ shelved her life of misfortunes and cried out against those who were against her despite the infidelities of the eternal heir to the throne. But beyond a vendetta -‘the best revenge is a good body’-, this dress taught us a lot about life and love.
What we learned with Diana of Wales’s black dress
- Everything is overcome. Although it is evident that Lady Di did not have a happy ending due to her premature death, her intention was to live, to turn the page, to overcome once and for all the lack of love for that man who never loved her because he was in love with her. another woman, and always disrespected her.
- Self-confidence is everything. Self -esteem is so important that it is a reflection for others. If we ourselves look good on the outside and inside, respect ourselves and give each other love every day, that will be seen on the outside. Diana from Wales said loud and clear at the Vanity Fair party in her black dress that she was sure of herself, that she intended to look forward and that above all, she looked fabulous.
- Attitude is essential. Diana of Wales had already cried a lot for Charles of England. She is no longer in this world, but Charles has not ascended the throne yet. Question of destiny? The fact is that the day that Lady Di put on this Catherine Walker she was a new woman, who stomped, with a positive attitude. If the attitude is good, the events will be too.
- Be yourself. The corseted environment of the United Kingdom had left Diana off, out of herself. With this black dress and her renewed attitude, she was able to return to being who she always was, with a new air of happiness, with a sexy aura, because there is no better ally than a good look.
- And turn the page. It is true that there is nothing like a good revenge to hit the nose of the one who broke your heart, and it does not hurt to dress divine and dress yourself in a suit of this type to remind him of it, but the most important task is to pass page, to a completely new chapter where you are the absolute protagonist. Although Diana de Gales did not live a wonderful ending in her life, she did teach us a lot about love, heartbreak and self-esteem with that ‘ goodbye Charles’ that was in the form of a black dress.
