Princess Diana Immortalised in Paris in Iconic ‘Revenge Dress’
PARIS, FRANCE – Princess Diana has once again captured the world’s attention, as the Grévin Wax Museum in Paris unveiled a stunning wax figure of the late princess dressed in her unforgettable black “revenge dress.” The gown, which became a symbol of Diana’s independence and personal strength, was famously worn in 1994 on the same night Prince Charles publicly admitted to infidelity.
The unveiling took place on November 20, marking exactly 30 years since Diana’s landmark BBC Panorama interview aired, a moment that transformed global perceptions of the British royal family. The museum’s tribute features a meticulously crafted replica of the Christina Stambolian-designed off-shoulder dress, complete with matching heels, pearl choker, and an elegant handbag, capturing the confidence and poise that defined Diana during the turbulent phase of her public life.
Diana’s statue stands separately from those of King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth II, underscoring her unique legacy as a royal who broke convention and won admiration around the world for her authenticity, compassion, and emotional honesty. Curators at the museum described the installation as a celebration of Diana’s enduring influence and her deep connection to Paris, the city where her life tragically came to an end in 1997.
Writers, cultural observers, and visitors have noted that the “revenge dress” represents more than just a fashion statement – it has become an emblem of resilience, self-expression, and a powerful moment when Diana reclaimed her narrative in full public view.
