About this deal
Princess Diana would repeatedly arrive at the gym wearing the same jumper to stop paparazzi from getting new pictures of her. Shortly before her tragic death, she gave the sweatshirt to her personal trainer and longtime friend Jenni Rivett, with a note reading: “Dearest Jenni, lots of love from, Diana, x” as reported by Yahoo. It's that time of year again. Those few weeks when we still haven't hit peak cold but it's still definitely too chilly to step out without a layer. During this very limited weather window, we couldn't think of a better moment to pull off Princess Diana's favorite casual fall outfit: a slouchy sweatshirt/biker shorts combo.
It was also recently revealed that Diana worked out at a queer men’s gym because “she really liked gay guys” according to Jeremy Norman who set up Soho Gyms. Many people remember the Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt she wore in the 1990s when she was en route her gym for a workout. And that's because she wore that same sweatshirt many times. Sure, she liked it, but it was actually much more strategic than that. She intentionally repeated the outfit in an attempt to decrease the value of paparazzi shots.During a 2018 episode of Yahoo's The Royal Box, Princess Diana's trainer Jenni Rivett recalled, "I remember one of her strategies was that she was going to wear the same Virgin sweatshirt every single session." Of course, the world was still just as interested in Diana, but her plan was rather clever. And, ironically enough, her attempt to quell the attention she received actually resulted in yet another legendary look. It features the airline’s retro logo, which was inspired by Peruvian painter Alberto Vargas’ sketches of pin-up girls in the 1930s. There are almost too many Princess Diana fashion moments to count but in honor of Princess Diana's birthday, let's reminisce some of her best looks. Her wedding gown was nothing short of epic. Of course, there's that infamous " revenge dress" following her split from Prince Charles. Even the outfits she wore after giving birth to her sons Prince William and Prince Harry became instantly iconic. Even her casual attire made an impact.
Diana was a member of his Earl’s Court Gym – where she was regularly papped – and “she really felt at ease with gay men, she could relate to them and she didn’t feel threatened by them in any way,” Norman told PinkNews.
