One of Princess Diana’s most memorable photoshoots—which would not be seen until after her tragic death—was actually styled by another surprising '90s fashion icon. Hair stylist Sam McKnight revealed the secret fashion inspo on the "Fat Mascara" podcast, while also diving into Princess Diana’s hair styling worries in her post-divorce fashion era.
“We did her hair slicked back quite a lot with Patrick [Demarchelier], but she kind of felt that it was drawing too much attention to her,” McKnight said on the podcast. At the time, Princess Diana had a short pixie-esque cut, which stylist Sam McKnight often styled in a gelled slick-back style, which Princess Diana was happy to wear for artistic photoshoots but not so much for royal events. “To have such a huge change, it would detract from the charity she was promoting,” the former Princess of Wales felt.
