Princess Diana's 'revenge dress' gets its moment in 'The Crown'
Diana was allegedly planning to wear a Valentino dress to the gala but made the last-minute decision to wear the figure-hugging black mini-dress.
In reclaiming her narrative by sporting her little black dress, Diana also veritably introduced the concept of the “revenge dress” into the zeitgeist. While the belief that looking good in spite of heartbreak is hardly new, Diana’s revenge dress crystallized the idea in pop culture that looking good could just be the best revenge.
“That [revenge dress] image resonates with us because we have deep feelings for Diana, for the pain that she was going through, so to see her have this victory in that moment, no matter how small it was, it actually becomes a big victory in our eyes,” Lisby tells TIME. Per Lisby, Diana in the revenge dress has ultimately endured as one of her key looks because at its heart is another quality that endeared the princess to the public: vulnerability. In wearing the revenge dress, Diana not only acknowledged the pain she must have felt while Charles’ infidelity played out in public, but also kept an eye toward reclaiming her power and her future. It was a moment of claiming agency for herself by way of a little black dress.
