In fact, many of her most precious pieces actually showcased some serious vibes that would fit in perfectly with today's most on-trend looks. Just how did she know?

Diana's sapphire choker is instantly recognisable
Chokers
Right now, the bigger the choker, the better. The former wife of Prince Charles was mainly seen rocking her instantly recognisable sapphire choker, which always gave her LBDs a serious edge.
Cocktail rings
Ahead of her yet time again, Diana often showcased her perfect manicure with a huge statement ring. So chic, her future daughter-in-law the Duchess of Sussex even borrowed her aquamarine cocktail ring for her wedding reception in 2018 and who can blame her? What a show-stopper.
