With padded shoulders, in daffodil yellow and with glittering gold buttons - a very current outfit for its time, which Princess Diana wore during her trip to Hong Kong in 1989, is now among the six outfits on display in the former British colony.
The collection of dresses, shoes and handbags - some of which are familiar period fashions of the Princess of Wales - is part of a 12-day exhibition at a Hong Kong shopping centre.
They will then be displayed in Ireland at another exhibition before being auctioned on June 27.
"She was making a fashion statement every time she got dressed and walked through the door," Martin Nolan, CEO of California-based Julien's Auctions, told AFP.
The yellow suit, designed by Catherine Walker, is expected to fetch up to $50,000 - a fraction of the $400,000 the midnight-blue tulle dress adorned with stars is expected to bring at auction.
Diana wore this striking model, designed by Murray Arbaid, to the premiere of The Phantom of the Opera in 1986 in London's West End.
Visitors wandered around the small pop-up space, stopping occasionally to get a closer look at the history of an outfit.
Recalling Diana's visit in 1989, an elderly shopper named Fung said the streets of Hong Kong were crowded with people hoping to catch a glimpse of the glamorous royalty.
The 65-year-old added that the city's affection for her had gone beyond the usual fanfare for other British royals.
"Diana was charismatic, caring and committed to charity. That's why many Hong Kongers respected her," Fung said.
Other notable items included a silk and lace evening gown designed by Victor Edelstein, as well as a pink floral Catherine Walker gown that Diana wore in 1991 when she kept vigil at the bedside of her close friend Adrian Ward-Jackson.
All of the pieces are "material possessions and great conversation pieces," Nolan said, given that people still find Diana close to them more than two decades after her death in a tragic auto accident.
"People are still in love with Diana as if she were with us today, and that's the amazing thing about this," he said.
Last year, Julien's Auctions sold one of Diana's evening gowns for $1.14 million, breaking records and showing that collector interest has not waned.
Even for the younger generation, Diana looms large in pop culture, said Kathleen, a digital marketer in her 20s who believes that may be due in part to Netflix's hit series "The Crown."
And her style may be coming back into fashion, she told AFP.
"It connects fashion and history," Kathleen, who gave only her first name, said of the exhibition.
"It's different from just seeing pictures." /BGNES
