Lady Amelia Spencer turned heads at the 2024 Fashion Awards in London on Monday, wearing a striking black off-the-shoulder gown that paid tribute to one of her late aunt Princess Diana’s most famous dresses. The British socialite’s outfit was reminiscent of Diana’s iconic “revenge dress” from 1994.
Amelia’s dress, designed by Pamella Roland for the resort 2025 collection, featured a sleek, slim-fitting silhouette with detailed beading along the neckline. The floor-length gown had a plunging design that added to its dramatic effect, echoing the bold style of Princess Diana’s celebrated black dress.
To complement her look, Amelia wore sparkling silver jewelry, including a statement necklace, matching earrings, rings, and a delicate bracelet. The accessories completed her elegant appearance for the prestigious fashion event.
The Pamella Roland gown shared several design elements with Princess Diana’s renowned “revenge dress,” which she wore to a 1994 event at the Serpentine Gallery in London. Diana’s dress, designed by Christina Stambolian, featured a shorter hemline and a dramatic off-the-shoulder neckline. It also included a black chiffon mini train, adding a touch of theatricality.
Diana’s dress became famously known as the “revenge dress” after she wore it shortly after her then-husband, Prince Charles, publicly admitted to infidelity during their 15-year marriage.
The Fashion Awards, organized by the British Fashion Council, is an annual event that raises funds for the industry. The 2024 edition includes major categories such as Model of the Year, British Menswear Designer, British Womenswear Designer, and Designer of the Year. Notable nominees in the Designer of the Year category include John Galliano, Jonathan Anderson, and Miuccia Prada.
