Knowing that Charles would be admitting to having an affair, Princess Diana broke royal protocol in a 'revenge dress' with a lasting legacy

On June 29, 1994, Princess Diana attended a dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in London, fully aware that her husband Charles would be admitting to his affair with Camilla that same night on TV. Determined to make a lasting impression, she chose to wear a daring black dress by designer Christina Stambolian - and while it broke a string of royal protocols in the process, it did its job, and photos of the stunning princess filled newspapers around the world.

Lego Play Pavillion

Central London should be significantly more fun for kids this summer thanks to this extremely fun looking collaboration between the Lego Group and the Serpentine Gallery. Deisgned by architect Sir Peter Cook, the Lego Play Pavillion is a public artwork partially made of Lego bricks that will sit in Kensington Gardens for much of the summer and play host to various free – but booking advised – events that range from crafting workshops to 'a Lego-inspired music production showcase'. On the whole the events are aimed at an older, 12-plus audience, although the Pavilion itself can be enjoyed by all ages. See official website for schedule and booking of sessions.

Eiza González Goes Sheer With Gilded Gold Accents in Harris Reed for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party

Eiza González joined a bevy of high-profile guests for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London on Tuesday. The event, cohosted by actress Cate Blanchett, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Serpentine Pavilion in Kensington Gardens, designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum this year. For the special summertime fete, González opted for a sheer dress courtesy of Harris Reed's fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The bias silk gown featured a high neckline and angular short sleeves with sheer black fabric on the bodice and skirt. The silhouette featured a formfitting style, with the skirt flowing slightly from the knees. Running down the bodice and skirt of the dress in sinuous style were hand-painted pieces of gilded gold, adding color contrast and a provocative element to the ensemble.

Kennedy Jr.'s Suited Bike Look for Ryan Murphy's 'American Love Story' Reed took to Instagram to share photos from the event, thanking stylist Elizabeth Saltzman 'for the support and love from day one.' Saltzman regularly collaborates with González on her red carpet and special occasion attire. The stylist has also worked with Elizabeth Debicki, Saoirse Ronan and Julia Garner, among others. González's hair was styled by Dayaruci with makeup by Francesca Abrahamovitch. Reed's fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection made its debut as part of London Fashion Week in February 2025. 'The British American designer toned down his usual palette of jewel tones to focus on black and gold with flecks of red, green or blue in the embroidery details of some pieces,' Hikmat Mohammed wrote in WWD's review of the collection. 'The world is in a tough spot right now and especially the creative [spaces]. So for me, I really used that as fuel to come out with pieces that were really about putting the internal on the external,' Reed said of his designs for the fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Highlights from the collection included moments of minimalism contrasted by 'points of exaggeration — a gigantic wrap-around hoop skirt with a bralette that had antennas; a tailored bomber jacket with cutouts at the breast revealing little embroidered flowers, and a perfectly constructed cage dress that was a highlight of an uneven collection.' The 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party was held on Tuesday at the Serpentine Pavilion in London, cohosted by Cate Blanchett. Lily Allen, Georgia May Jagger, Rebecca Vallance, Kelly Osbourne, Harris Reed, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer were among the attendees.

Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer Twin in Coordinated Red Gowns for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party

Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer opted for red hot attire for the 2025 Serpentine Gallery Summer Party on Tuesday in London. The nieces of the late Princess Diana joined such guests as Eiza González and cohost Cate Blanchett. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the Serpentine Pavilion in Kensington Gardens, designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum for 2025. For the special occasion, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza coordinated their attire. Both wore red gowns with fabric draping and flowing silhouettes, with each adapting particular details to individualize their matching looks.

The dress included a straight neckline, providing the ideal frame for Lady Amelia's shimmering accessories — a statement choker necklace and chandelier earrings. The British model's hair was styled in a tight chignon and pulled back with a side part. Lady Eliza's red gown was strapless and included elements of fabric draping from the bustline and the waist. The dress, much like her sister's, was wholly evocative of Grecian style with its flowing silhouette and movement. The straight neckline of Lady Eliza's dress also served to frame her accessories, which differentiated slightly from those of her sister. Lady Eliza wore a ruby red and shimmering silver necklace with coordinated chandelier earrings. The model's hair was styled down with the controversial side part — a style celebrities like Scarlett Johansson have recently embraced. Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer are accustomed to twinning for major events. More recently, the sisters attended Royal Ascot on Friday wearing sharp, tailored looks reminiscent of their late aunt's royal wardrobe. The two coordinated their footwear, wearing The Fold London's black patent Savona pumps. Outside of their recent public appearances, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer costarred in the summer campaign for Aspinal of London. The sisters, both of whom also serve as Aspinal of London ambassadors, were photographed for the '60s-inspired campaign, captured in a rustic cottage near Aspinal's headquarters in southwest Surrey, England. 'We have been wearing the brand for several years. Aspinal has a beautiful bag for every occasion and has regularly been our handbag accessory of choice at many red carpet and formal events,' the sisters said. 'We are excited for the advertising campaign to launch, as the team has created something very cool and iconic. And we are also looking forward to some of the other exciting moments that will be shared later this year.'
