• Princess Diana was a master at using fashion to make a statement.
• For example, she turned heads when she wore a daring, off-the-shoulder gown the same night an interview aired where Prince Charles publicly admitted to having an affair.
• She also made it clear how she felt about her position in the royal family when she wore her famous black-sheep sweater to a polo match.

Before Meghan Markle was making statements with her fashion choices, there was Princess Diana.

According to Elizabeth Holmes, the author of "HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style," Diana was a "master dresser" who would tailor her style "not just to what she was doing or who she was meeting, but how she was feeling."

"I think Diana's choices were screaming sometimes," Holmes told Insider. "Diana delighted in clothes. Her story is filled with such highs and lows, but understanding her fashion, how she used it, found power in it, and reclaimed her voice is my favorite part of this book."

Here's a look back at every time the late royal made a powerful statement with her clothes.
