Anything did go for Lady Di, as she was snapped in – of all things – a Philadelphia Eagles varsity bomber jacket.

A file picture showing Diana making her entrance at the awards gala of the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1995. Photo: APmagazine covers wearing off-the-shoulder gowns, pearl necklaces and oversized hats, looks that defined modern glamour.

Her fashion sense in this case more fit for Rocky than royalty, Diana – who died 25 years ago this week – had been occasionally photographed through the years in the jacket, which was a gift from then-Eagles owner Leonard Tose. As the story goes, Eagles statistician Jack Edelstein – noted in his Associated Press obituary as a"master of double talk and once dated Marilyn Monroe” – was a close friend of Jack Kelly, a longtime Philadelphia politician and Princess Grace of Monaco’s brother.

"Leonard loved the big gesture and he loved spending money,” said retired sports writer Ray Didinger, who covered the Eagles for 52 years."It’s not like they took something off the rack.” "She spoke with her clothes in a way that she often wasn’t afforded the ability to speak with her voice.” The photos have become a piece of Philly pop culture, sprouting everywhere of late as Wednesday marked the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death in a Paris car accident.
