Princess Diana revenge dress lookalikes are everywhere right now

Diana's Christina Stambolian dress caused such a stir since she wore it to attend a Vanity Fair fundraiser at the Serpentine gallery, the very same night that Prince Charles' ITV documentary aired - in which he confessed his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall.

It's said that Diana didn't originally plan to wear the dress on the night, and had in fact owned it since 1991 - but had thought it too risqué to wear previously. For the event, she had actually chosen a Valentino gown, but opted to wear the Christina Stambolian number after designs were leaked to the public.
