Princess Di

By far the most high-profile style icon of the 80's was Princess Diana. Her wedding to Prince Charles was televised and watched by 750 Million - her dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emmanuel and was the perfect balance between one of the most iconic wedding dresses in the world, but something which reflected Diana's personality. It was hugely secret and only revealed on the big day - a select few knew about the dress, and they were sworn to secrecy. It had a 25- Foot long train and I think it's so show-stopping and beautifully crafted.

Diana herself was a style icon - she had a unique sense of fashion, and put new stylish twists on the conservative garments her advisers told her to wear; examples include a backless gown, her padded shoulders and when she war a choker the queen gave to her as a gift - on her head. She had so many quirks and seemed extremely down to earth - she truly was the 'People's Princess'.
