The princess wore a navy slip dress with lace trim by John Galliano, the newly appointed creative director of Dior. She carried a blue satin bag fashioned as a smaller version of her preferred black quilted Dior bag.

Princess Diana fell in love with Dior after Madame Bernadette Chirac gave her a "Chouchou" purse in 1995.

The fashion brand nicknamed the purse the "Lady Dior" after she was pictured carrying it many times.

As for the reissued version, fashion enthusiasts should act soon – the French firm only makes 200 before retiring the navy satin.
