The Grevin waxwork museum in Paris has unveiled a new exhibit featuring Princess Diana, dressed in the infamous 'revenge dress' she wore in 1994. The black gown, designed by Christina Stambolian, was a bold statement of self-assertion and confidence as Diana navigated a highly publicized media frenzy surrounding her marriage to Prince Charles. The exhibit marks a significant moment for the late princess, who remains a global pop culture icon celebrated for her style, humanity, and independence. The waxwork, created by Paris-based sculptor Laurent Mallamaci, is displayed in a gallery alongside fashion and entertainment figures, a deliberate departure from the section featuring heads of state, where Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth are housed. The date of the unveiling, November 20, was chosen to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Diana's bombshell interview with the BBC, in which she famously stated 'there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a little bit crowded,' referencing Prince Charles's subsequent marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles. The Grevin Museum had initially considered creating a waxwork of Diana in 1997, but ultimately abandoned the idea after her tragic death in Paris. The new exhibit serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the beloved princess and her continued influence on global culture.
