Overview
- At the Cannes Film Festival, Anastasia Andrushkevich attended the premiere of Fjord in a pale-blue strapless gown custom-made by Mehmet Ozden that outlets described as a deliberate tribute to Princess Diana’s 1987 Catherine Walker dress.
- Observers pointed to clear visual echoes between the two gowns, notably a structured, strapless bodice, a flowing skirt, and a thin matching scarf draped down the back.
- Fashion coverage traces Diana’s 1987 look back to Catherine Walker’s explicit reference to Edith Head’s 1955 blue dress worn by Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief, linking the Cannes moment to a longer cinematic lineage.
- Reports say Diana’s original 1987 gown later sold at auction, although outlets differ on the sale date and the price, reflecting variation in secondary reporting about the dress’s provenance.
- Stylists and critics cast Andrushkevich’s appearance as part of a wider archival-fashion trend at Cannes that renews attention on designers’ authorship, reshapes public memory of royal style, and may influence future red-carpet reinterpretations.
