Princess Diana's iconic fashion has stood the test of time.

While attending the 2026 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Fjord, French-Russian actress Anastasia Andrushkevich paid tribute to the late princess by recreating her look from the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

Andrushkevich mirrored the timeless gown by wearing her own baby blue floor-length dress designed by Mehmet Ozden, per Vogue.

The strapless design had a fitted bodice and an A-line skirt, accompanied by a matching stole that hung from Andrushkevich's neck.

The look was accessorized with long silver dangling earrings that sparkled as Andrushkevich's blonde bob was parted to one side.

She completed the outfit with a dark pink lip, light eyeliner and rosy blush.

The original dress worn by Diana was a strapless pale blue Catherine Walker chiffon design, accessorized with a stole and silver jewelry.

The dress was also worn by Diana in September 1989 for a performance of Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal and for a 1987 portrait sitting with photographer Terence Donovan, according to Julien's Auctions, which auctioned the gown for $137,500.

Diana wore many designs by Catherine Walker throughout her lifetime, including during a royal tour of Italy in 1985 and for a night at the opera in Germany in 1987.

Said Cyrus, who founded Catherine Walker & Co. with his late wife, Catherine Walker, shared the fashion house's experience creating dresses for Diana in an interview with Hello!.

"We saw our job as giving [Diana] the tools of her trade," Cyrus told the outlet in 2017.

"As the relationship developed, we took the combination of her job and our support very seriously," he continued. "Diana was always very polite, very courteous and very appreciative. She was never late for an appointment, which, for a busy person, shows respect, and whenever she wore a dress that was admired, she'd thank us."
