“This was definitely not a wallflower dress,” said Emanuel, who also co-designed Diana’s wedding gown. “This was a dress to be seen in and celebrated.”
Shocking pink with a plunging, ruffled neckline and body-hugging shape, the gown was designed by Emanuel for Lady Diana Spencer to wear at a Buckingham Palace party a few days before her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981. It was a visual coming-out event for the future princess, until then largely known for her conservative sweater-and-pearls look.
A fan of the series’ first three seasons, Emanuel said she found it hard to watch the last two because of the way Diana was depicted. Diana grew up in the country, looking to her older sisters for fashion cues. This was a world of hunting, shooting and fishing, where Barbour coats and Wellington boots were everyday wear. It was a culture where no matter how much you cared about your appearance, you had to seem like you weren’t trying too hard.
“It actually was a bit of an effort for her to adapt to that role,” Cole said. “She did appreciate and came to understand the power of clothes, the power of image. It helped very much that she had good taste, and I think she had some good advisers.”And perhaps the journey began with the hot pink party gown.
But for Emanuel, the project is about more than simply setting the record straight. It’s about one friend remembering another and the helping hand the princess gave to her career.
