Recognized by fashionistas everywhere as one of the world's most beautifully dressed women, the late Diana Princess of Wales was haute couture's sought after muse. The list of those who dressed Diana is abloom with the best of the best. From Catherine Walker and Christian Dior, the roster of top designers and stylists seeking her attention bespeaks Diana's influence on taste, style and elegance. From the ballroom to red carpet, hospital visits to schoolroom appearances, Diana was always the picture of appropriate fashion.

Set amidst the Art Deco elegance of the Queen's Ballroom, once the gathering place for ocean traveling glitterati, the Breast Cancer themed fashion show will highlight apparel and accessories from the designers Diana favored most.
