Overview
- The statue went on public display under the museum’s dome in the fashion space on November 20 alongside figures such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Marie-Antoinette, Chantal Thomass, Aya Nakamura and Léna Situations.
- The unveiling was scheduled to coincide with the 30th anniversary of her 1995 BBC interview, which later drew scrutiny over the methods used to secure it.
- The figure wears a short, low-cut black Christina Stambolian design known as the “Revenge Dress,” first worn on June 29, 1994, hours after Charles publicly acknowledged an extramarital relationship.
- Grévin framed the outfit as a break with royal convention and a symbol of self-reclamation, confident femininity and resilience.
- The museum had abandoned a Diana project after her death, and TF1 reported the revival followed a recent London trip and the 2025 release of Christine Orban’s Mademoiselle Spencer, with King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth II displayed separately in the state gallery without Queen Camilla.
