After Charles Lady Diana showed the world she wasn't no push over.
Princess Diana is a style icon, and no outfit got as much buzz as her "Revenge Dress."
In June 1994, Diana stepped out for a gala at the Serpentine Gallery in London wearing a fitted black off-the-shoulder dress with an asymmetrical hemline and chiffon train that flowed in the wind.
The revealing ensemble was unusual for a member of the typically buttoned-up royal family — but that's not the only reason it grabbed headlines: Princess Diana wore the head-turning number the same night that Prince Charles confessed on national television that he had been unfaithful to her.
In an ITV documentary that aired a year and a half following the couple's split, Queen Elizabeth's eldest son and heir said he remained faithful to Diana "until it became irretrievably broken down," confirming rumors of his affair with now-wife Camilla Parker-Bowles. "It is a deeply regrettable thing to happen, but it does happen, and unfortunately in this case, it has happened," Charles said.
"On a human level for Diana, you can only imagine how upsetting that would have been, not only to hear that but to know that now the world has heard it. Effectively, Charles has aired some serious dirty laundry," explained PEOPLE Senior Editor Michelle Tauber in PEOPLE's "Diana Diaries." "Some may have decided this was altogether too much and tried to avoid the cameras, stay out of the limelight — just let the storm pass. That is not what Diana chose to do that night."
