- Kate Moss also opted for polka dots, similar to 1987 dress worn by Diana

Princess Diana was a style icon whose fashion choices are still admired 21 years after her death, so it’s no wonder guests at Princess Eugenie’s wedding yesterday decided to take inspiration from her royal style book.
Some of the looks were more of a subtle nod to Diana, whilst others near enough wore replicas of some of Diana’s most famous looks.
Sarah Ferguson’s half-sister Eliza Ferguson near enough copied one of Diana’s classic Royal Ascot outfits, from the 1986 event in a green polka dot wrap dress with a matching hat, as Diana had in 1986.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge, Ellie Goulding and Holly Candy also seemed to give a nod to the late princess’ iconic style with their outfits.
