Diana's gowns are just part of the exhibition dedicated to "three women whose style inspired a generation": the Princess, Queen Elizabeth and the Queen's sister, "royal rebel" Princess Margaret.

One of the most memorable pieces to go on display is a bottle green velvet halterneck dress from designer Catherine Walker that the late princess wore for a photoshoot with Mario Testino. Another gown included is a black and green tartan dress, also by Catherine Walker, that Diana wore to an event at Balmoral in 1990.

Not only did Catherine style the ever-fashionable royal, she and Diana were also good friends. The designer supplied the Princess with over 1,000 outfits and dressed her in some of her most iconic numbers to date.
