Fashion designer Elizabeth Emanuel looks back at her time designing Princess Diana's gown for the 'wedding of the century.' The Prince and Princess of Wales divorced in 1996.
Curator David Corelli spoke to Fox News Digital about "Princess Diana: A Tribute Exhibition" in Las Vegas, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the late British royal's death.Nearly 1 billion people in 74 countries tuned in to watch Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, marry shy nursery schoolteacher Lady Diana Spencer July 29, 1981. The wedding gown she wore is still considered one of the most iconic bridal looks of all time.
"The collection that I was creating was frills, lace and romantic ballgowns — all magical things," Emanuel explained."This was a time of the ‘new romance’ [trend] of frilly necklines and voluminous sleeves. She loved all of that." Emanuel admitted that she and her husband"were the nervous ones" as Diana appeared surprisingly calm.
"It was horrible," Emanuel admitted."We were in a really difficult position. We didn’t have any experience dealing with the amount of press we got. It was quite stressful. And it was so scary, knowing the whole world was waiting to see what we were going to make for her."
