Princess Diana & Bruce Oldfield

Diana, Bruce and Joan Collins

Designer Bruce Oldfield first made a big piece for Diana at a Banardo's Gala night in 1985. Joan Collins and Shirley Bassey were going to be there, so she asked Bruce to make her 'glamorous'. The dress was a pleated silk lamé number and looked great on her. Diana danced with the designer that night and even smuggled cigarettes in for him before a speech he had to make. Could they have been a perfect match? 

Diana At The Albert Hall

   For a long time after that, the Princess was spotted in a number of Oldfield outfits day and night. His trademark design for Diana was a deep V-shaped back cut out such as this gorgeous red dress worn to a ball at the Albert Hall.
