John Galliano, reflecting on his experience designing for Princess Diana, shared his surprise at her bold fashion choice. In the Hulu docuseries In Vogue: The 90s, Galliano recounts working with Diana for the 1996 Met Gala. Although he initially tried to persuade her to wear a pink dress, she rejected the idea. For her appearance, Galliano created a slip dress with a corset, but Diana decided to remove the corset to make a bold statement. Galliano was astonished when he saw Diana at the event, noting her liberation and the sensuous impact of the dress. He remembered her Met Gala appearance as a memorable moment, highlighting that Diana was his first couture client.
