Color trends come and go, and as we all wave goodbye to butter yellow, there's a new shade that everyone will be wearing for fall 2025. Whether it's pale lavender, deep plum or ultra-bright violet, shades of purple are reigning supreme this season—and one member of the Royal Family was more than 30 years ahead of the trend.
Like butter yellow, Princess Diana was often seen in purple throughout her royal career and even before, as seen in the famous 1980 photos of Lady Di posing with her kindergarten students. Wearing a purple sweater vest, lavender shirt and pastel skirt that turned out to be surprisingly sheer in the light, the soon-to-be fiancée of Prince Charles captured the public imagination.
