The sling-back style worn by Diana was ”of the moment” – and perfectly matched her dazzling Catherine Walker minidress.
Specifically, it was when the former Princess of Wales wore a pair of pale-blue satin sling-backs by the Malaysian shoemaker, alongside a glittering Catherine Walker minidress, for a performance ofat the Royal Albert Hall in June 1997. “It really started everything for us,” Jimmy Choo’s creative director Sandra Choi previously said.
The sling-back represented a more daring choice for Diana, who struck up a close friendship with Jimmy Choo after he began designing shoes for her in the early ’90s, when he began visiting her at her Kensington Palace home. “The sling-back style was of the moment,” Choi tellsnow. “It was an evolution of the ’80s court shoe, but a more modern, lighter interpretation, with a covered toe. This style worked so well for occasion dressing, being less formal than a pump.
Princess Diana’s custom Jimmy Choos were made to match her dresses – including these purple heels that she wore for a gala dinner in Chicago in 1996.Diana pictured wearing a pair of gold Jimmy Choos, complementing her Catherine Walker minidress, at a Christie’s party in New York in 1997.As with many of Diana’s custom Choos over the years, the sling-back was created especially to match her baby-blue Catherine Walker number.
The height of the former Princess of Wales’s shoes also increased over the years as she gained confidence . “When she first started wearing Jimmy Choo, it was a court shoe style in a lower heel height of 2.5 inches, but as time went by she [began] walking in higher heels that were classic styles with a twist,” Choi explains.as it was back then – with Princess Diana’s Jimmy Choos being the ultimate inspiration.
