How To Get Tickets For 'Diana: A Fashion Story' Exhibit At Kensington Palace

For royal family and fashion fans alike, a new exhibition will open at Kensington Palace and feature an assortment of the late Princess’ most iconic gowns.

“Diana: A Fashion Story” will open this Friday at the historic British palace, and tickets have already gone on sale, according to the Kensington Palace website. Unfortunately, advance bookings have already sold out for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can, however, purchase tickets to visit the palace onsite, which will include access to Kensington Palace’s sprawling gardens and all of the palace’s open exhibitions. For those that are not based in the UK, there’s still a chance to visit the exhibit – “Diana: A Fashion Story” will be on view throughout 2017.

Adult ticket prices onsite will be £16.50 (or about $20.50) and £15.40 (or about $19) online; children under 16 years are free of admission (the prices remain through Feb. 28). Beginning March 1, adult tickets will be £19.00 (or about $24) at the gate and £17.10 (or about $21) online. Advance tickets are valid to enter the palace seven days from the booking date.

The new exhibit commemorates the life of the popular princess and coincides with the 20-year anniversary of her tragic death. The Princess Diana fashion exhibit will take viewers through an assortment of outfits and gowns that "Lady Di" wore during noted public appearances. Visitors can expect to see 25 pieces as well as original designer sketches from Roland Klein and David Sassoon, among others, according to WWD.

Diana was known for her inimitable style and she had a tremendous influence on eighties fashion. “She championed British fashion designers and put many of them on the international stage,” curator Eleri Lynn told WWD. “Everything she wore had a huge impact and was copied by the high street. She helped popularize the romantic look in the early eighties, the fabulously glamorous ‘Dynasty’ look in the late eighties, and the sleek silhouettes of the nineties.”

Among the featured garments will be the popular velvet dress the British royal wore to a White House event where she danced with John Travolta, as well as a suit she wore with Prince Charles on their honeymoon.
