When you think of Princess Diana’s most iconic fashion moments, there’s the little black dress by Greek designer Christina Stambolian, countless gowns by Bruce Oldfield, or her famous Chopard sapphire choker.

The heavily photographed Princess’s true sense of style comes through when she’s looking her most comfortable, the most like herself.
Here’s some of her best off-duty looks from the 1980s and ’90s, proving that she really was “The People’s Princess.”
