So hard to hear Prince Harry opening up about the death of his mother Princess Diana in

the two-hour documentary "Diana Seven Days" airing September 1st on NBC.

And hard to believe that August 31st will mark the 20th anniversary of her passing,

and a lot is made of her flawless style, Natalie.

What she wore always made headlines and charting her every fashion choice friend and journalist

When Diana came into our consciousness, she was very much the Sloan ranger, the girl from

Sloan square who wore little Peter pan collars and cardigans and flat shoes.

Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown first met her friend Diana then known as Shy DI

around the time she got engaged to Prince Charles.

Just 19 years old and living in London's Sloan neighborhood Diana's style was not as sophisticated

as it would become but Tina said even back then she made an impact.

Her country girl look created a whole fashion line.

In London when I was in my 20s, we were all dressing like Diana in the cardigans and skirts

Today the world remains fascinated by Diana's style, so it's hard to believe in her early

most elegant, her most confident, really her sexiest, too.

But Diana was more than just her glamorous wardrobe.

Throughout the years Diana developed what she called a Carrie wardrobe which she wore

while visiting with children or the elderly.

She would do a lot of bright colors, things that felt very cheerful.

She was very careful in the to wear a hat because she said you couldn't cuddle with

somebody if you had a hat on, and she even said when she went to visit children she would

wear chunky jewelry so they would have something to play with.
