The Cannes Film Festival is here once again, with everyone from Bella Hadid to Eva Longoria walking the red carpet in their glitziest gowns. While naked dressing wasn't a thing at the 1987 festival, making a fashion statement certainly was—and Princess Diana brought out all the stops for her one and only appearance at the event. Her baby blue Catherine Walker gown might be the look everyone remembers when they think of Diana in Cannes, but there's a second, largely forgotten outfit the princess wore in the South of France. And exactly 38 years later, her bubble skirt is once again right back on trend.
Princess Diana turned to her favorite designer, Catherine Walker, for her May 15, 1987 appearance at the Cannes Film Festival with Prince Charles, wearing an icy blue gown that was inspired by another famous royal, Grace Kelly. The strapless dress with a gathered, criss-cross waist featured a matching chiffon scarf that trailed along the red carpet as the couple attended the premiere of The Whales of August.
