Back in 1994, Princess Diana made headlines around the world when she arrived at a gala hosted at the Serpentine Gallery in what was quickly dubbed her "revenge dress."

On the night that a controversial documentary about King Charles, then Prince Charles, aired (in which he was interviewed and admitted to having an affair) in 1994, the princess arrived at a gala hosted at the Serpentine Gallery in a velvet off-the-shoulder black dress with a plunging neckline. It's since widely been recognized as her "revenge dress."
Nearly 30 years later, the Serpentine Gallery still welcomes some of the biggest names in fashion, entertainment, and art annually for a glitzy summer party. On Tuesday, high-profile guests such as Orlando Bloom, Golda Rosheuvel, and Venus Williams gathered for the latest event in some daring ensembles.
Some even appeared to put their own spin on Diana's "revenge dress" moment – take a look.
Diana Kruger put a modern spin on Diana's all-black "revenge dress" with a look that featured a sheer paneled bodice and latex boots.

From the off-the-shoulder neckline to accessorizing with sheer stockings, Lyonne's Christopher Kane ensemble – styled for her by Leith Clark – was straight out of Diana's "revenge dress" playbook.
