- She wore a navy blue slip dress designed by John Galliano, who had just become the head designer at Dior.
- Diana made a last-minute decision to remove the corset from the dress, which Galliano described as a liberating move.

- Diana's appearance at the Met Gala came just months after her divorce from then-Prince Charles was finalized.
