‘Oh my God, you get to wear the Revenge Dress!'”

She thought it was a bit risky.
I said, ‘Why not be daring.’
But she wanted everything more covered up, longer and the neck higher.”
Stamboulian told Diana that she had good legs and she should show them.
“Finally, she said ‘yes’ to the style then we moved on to the color.
I had black in my mind, but she wanted cream.
To me Diana was a black and white sort of person.
That was the way she was there were no grey areas.
I thought of black for the color.
I thought of her in a sophisticated way.
I didn’t like her in the pale pinks and blues with lots of beading.”
It was a deeply empowering moment.”
Captured in one dress is the death of a marriage and the death of her relationship with the palace.
Everything changed after that."
I can’t really explain it.
So that was a big day on set for me!"
