The History of Princess Diana's Wedding Dress: All About the Designers, the Lost Backup Gown and That Record-breaking Train
When Princess Diana walked down the aisle with King Charles III (then known as the Prince of Wales) in 1981, her extravagant wedding gown solidified her status as a fashion icon — and set trends for years to come: Mariah Carey, who married music executive Tommy Mottola in 1993, tapped Vera Wang to create a wedding dress inspired by Diana's. Ahead, learn about the history behind the iconic gown, including its designers, its cost and where it is today.

David and Elizabeth Emanuel, also known as the Emanuels, designed Princess Diana's wedding dress. She first became fond of the duo after wearing one of their chiffon blouses, which was custom-made for her engagement portrait session. The ruffled pink top recently fetched $381,000 at auction. 'When she saw our blouse on the rack she fell in love with it, asked who had made it and was directed to us,' Elizabeth Emanuel said in her 2006 book, 'A Dress for Diana.' Diana herself selected the Emanuels to design her wedding gown, which, per Elizabeth, 'had to be something that was going to go down in history, but also something that Diana loved' and which would be 'suitably dramatic in order to make an impression.' What is Princess Diana's wedding dress made of? The gown was crafted from ivory silk taffeta and antique Carrickmacross lace, which had previously belonged to Diana's great-grandmother-in-law, Queen Mary. Embroidery, sequins and over 10,000 pearls adorned its waistline, hem and train, which broke royal wedding records with a length of 25 feet. A small blue bow was sewn into the waistband of the gown for Diana's 'something blue,' and an 18-karat gold horseshoe charm was also stitched in for good luck.

'At the time we wanted to make absolutely sure that the dress was a surprise,' Elizabeth Emanuel told People in 2011. 'Had the secret of the real dress got out it's possible that Diana would actually have worn this one.' Sketches of the backup gown were first revealed in 2023. Also made from ivory silk taffeta — but without the antique lace — it was embroidered with scalloped details along the hemline and sleeves. Tiny pearls were also sewn onto the bodice. The alternate dress, however, has since vanished. 'It was really just a backup to the original and I don't know where it went. It just disappeared,' Elizabeth Emanuel told Hello! in 2023. How much did Princess Diana's wedding dress cost? At the time of its creation, Diana's gown was worth approximately $114,800. Today, that's equivalent to around $448,500. Where is Princess Diana's wedding dress today? In her will, Diana bequeathed her bespoke gown to her sons, Princes William and Harry. They officially inherited it in 2014, upon the latter's 30th birthday. They've since loaned out the wedding dress for exhibition: in 2021, it was put on display as part of Kensington Palace's show titled 'Royal Style in the Making,' which concluded in 2022. The Legacy of the Wedding Dress To this day, the late Princess of Wales's wedding gown remains a fashion fixture, so much so that the dress became the subject of a documentary in 2025. In June, Britain's Channel 5, a division of Paramount Global, debuted the TV documentary 'Secrets of Diana's Wedding Dress.' The one-hour documentary chronicles the meteoric rise of designers David and Elizabeth Emmanuel from Royal College of Art graduates to the creators of Diana's wedding gown. Along with a spotlight on the Emmanuels, the documentary also highlighted Greek-born Nina Missetzis, who hand-sewed the dress and worked in tandem with the Emmanuels' team of seamstresses. 'Secrets of Diana's Wedding Dress' revealed details about the fittings prior to Charles and Diana's wedding on July 29, 1981, the wedding photos, the late British royal family member's anxieties regarding then-Prince Charles' relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles (now King Charles III's wife of roughly 20 years and the queen consort) and so much more. 'The dress has dominated my life,' Elizabeth Emmanuel said. 'I had wanted to do a documentary like this for many years. There are loads and loads of documentaries about Diana, quite rightly, but this is a story within a story that's never been told, and it's a story of teamwork,' she said.

Peter Phillips, grandson of late Queen Elizabeth II, is engaged
Peter Phillips, the son of Britain's Princess Anne and eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, announced his engagement to nurse Harriet Sperling on Friday. 'Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement,' the couple's spokesperson told CNN in a statement. 'Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement. 'No date has officially been set for the wedding,' the statement added. The couple first announced their engagement with a photo shoot in UK celebrity magazine Hello!, in which they were pictured in a field, with Sperling's ring prominent. They have been a couple since at least May 2024, when they were pictured together at the Badminton Horse Trials alongside Phillips' daughters and Queen Camilla. Sperling is a pediatric nurse for Britain's National Health Service and a freelance writer, according to an online biography attached to an article she wrote for Christian magazine Woman Alive last year. Phillips, 47, was previously married to Canadian-born Autumn Kelly with whom he shares two daughters – Savannah, 14, and Isla, 13. They announced their 'amicable' divorce and decision to share custody of their children in 2020.
