The late Princess Diana was known to turn heads with her style and charm, which is still a topic long after her demise. Resurfaced photos of the beloved Royal have social media in a frenzy, as they feature her in the ’80s with her hair reaching her shoulders.
She wore her rich blonde tresses in loose curls with most of it pinned back while sporting gorgeous bangs and side splits. The shot showed a rare look from the Queen of Hearts, who was known to keep her hair short and cute instead.

Fans of Diana could not hold back their admiration, with some expressing surprise at seeing her in a different hairstyle. “She looks beautiful, but almost unrecognizable with her hair styled like that,” someone responded.
There were debates as to what styles looked best on Diana, while some maintained a neutral stance, noting that her joining the Royal family was the reason she changed her hair. “It feels so much more youthful and age-appropriate. The short crop felt too ‘mature’ for someone as young and vibrant as she was,” another person stated.
Princess Diana changed her hairstyle in different phases
Diana maintained her bangs and opted for a bold, flippy look for her wedding to Charles, after which she sported a feathered mushroom cut. She made some slight changes after having Prince William and went for even shorter styles in the ’90s.
Lady Di’s gorgeous hair and frequently changing hairstyles were thanks to Sam McKnight, who served her for about seven years since they first met at a Vogue shoot in 1990. Diana had a clever way of sending subliminal messages through her style changes, and this was also the case with her hair. After her split from Charles, she cut her hair even shorter, admitting it gave her a sense of freedom.
