We noticed in 1987, the blonde royal was pictured at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, wearing a pair of heart-shaped statement earrings. They featured embossed bows and were seriously funky. In fact, they actually reminded us of a pair of ASOS earrings Millie Court from Love Island wore when she first entered the show last month.

Diana wore heart-shaped earrings in 1987

Speaking of Gucci bags, the Italian fashion house has actually revamped Diana's favourite bamboo-handled Gucci bag from the past and re-named it after the royal. Epic!

Diana's top handle design was bold and sleek, and a little bit daring. Almost twenty years since she rocked the arm candy, the revamp - led by Alessandro Michele - features the same recognisable bamboo handles, as well as eye-catching neon leather belts fastened around them.
