00:10This is the revenge dress that was worn by the Princess Diana on the 29th of June 1994.
00:16On that special evening she knew that Prince Charles was about to admit on public television
00:21that he was unfaithful during their marriage. So you can imagine like how divesting and intense
00:28this evening was. The Princess though decided that she would attend the Serpentine Gallery
00:34and she decided last minute to change her outfit and went for this amazing dress from Christina Stamboulian.
00:43With this dress I think she's trying to express how she wants to get back on the narrative. She wants
00:51to tell her own story and without maybe the capacity to express it with words she decided
00:57to express it through fashion and wear this dress. She looks stunning, she looks amazing, she looks empowered.
