Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy - famous women with eventful biographies.

After their deaths, their names have lost little in importance.

They've been around for decades.

One can be reminded of Grace Kelly almost every time when it comes to the Hermès Kelly Bag.

Or Jackie Kennedy if someone wears Jackie O. sunglasses.

Pearls à la Audrey Hepburn, thousands of reenactments of the croissant and coffee scene before Tiffany & Co. Fashion is a good support when it comes to creating myths.

Sheep knit sweaters, tartan coats

Until now, Princess Diana has not belonged to this top tier of fashion icons, before whose elegance and sense of style the world cannot help but kneel.

Diana was the woman who not only turned up in

revenge dresses

and shyly looking at cameras in gingham summer trousers, but also wore sheepskin knit sweaters and tartan coats.

The ascent of the character Princess Diana into a different stylistic sphere is still nice to watch - and this is even happening for once regardless of what Harry says about his mother in "Spare".

Diana is also so up-to-date.

The film about her, Spencer, was released in theaters last year (director Pablo Larraín had previously worked on Jackie: The First Lady).

Filming of The Crown season 6 is underway.

The "D Styling Bag" becomes the "Di Bag"

Fashion, which is not unimportant when it comes to a famous woman becoming an eternal style icon and staying in this league, is playing its part in Lady Di's case.

In May 1997, a few months before her death, Diana was carrying around a certain Tod's D styling bag.

The model then suddenly became popular and became known as the "Di Bag".

In 2019, the brand started the relaunch, at that time under the original name D Styling Bag.

This winter, Tod's is fully committed to Diana and is relaunching the bag - now even larger and more customizable: as a Di Bag.

Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, now wears the "Di Cross".

She is familiar with the props of historical icons.

Last year the world debated whether they should have taken Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Ball - on loan.

Then last week, Kardashian bought the 1920s Attallah cross from jeweler Garrard, which Diana once owned, straight away at Sotheby's.

It cost £163,800.

If everything goes well, it's timeless as a Di Kreuz.
