Princess Diana's bold request was the one thing her designer refused: 'You are a princess'
Princess Diana was ready to put royal protocol to the test to prove she was a "free woman." The late Princess of Wales is the subject of the upcoming "Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection" auction, which takes place on June 26 in Los Angeles. It will feature some of fashion designer Jacques Azagury's design illustrations for Diana, and fabric swatches from some of her famous dresses. "It feels wonderful [to keep her memory alive]," Azagury, who helped Diana revamp her style during her final years, told Fox News Digital during a private preview at The Peninsula Residences London. "Anything that I can do that's going to carry on the legacy of the princess, I will always do it… It's a way of keeping her alive really." Sylvester Stallone And Richard Gere Almost Brawled Over Princess Diana At Elton John's Party: Author Azagury said he met Diana in 1985 when he was showing his new collection in London. They were introduced by Anna Harvey, deputy editor of British Vogue. "She immediately put me at ease," he described. "She had this amazing ability to make you feel completely at ease in no time." Read On The Fox News App In return, Azagury would help Diana step out of her shell. "In her later years, Diana embraced this sexier, sleeker look, which was my aim," he explained. "My aim was really to just get her out of all these frills and… frumpy skirts that she was wearing at the beginning. As her life was developing, she had to be on the international stage, and it was my job to make her fit there. Gradually, I simplified and simplified her right to the end until there wasn't really that much dress. It was more about the princess and the fit of the dress." According to reports, British royals are subject to strict fashion rules. And as the wife of the future king, Diana was expected to follow them. But as her marriage publicly crumbled, Diana was ready to send a new message using her style. WATCH: PRINCESS DIANA'S DESIGNER EXPLAINS WHY HE DENIED HER BOLD FASHION REQUEST One of the most iconic looks was "The Revenge Dress," a slinky little black dress that she wore in 1994, on the same night that her ex-husband, the former Prince Charles, confessed his infidelity on national television. Reports claimed that Diana owned the Christina Stambolian design for three years, but never wore it until then because it was too daring. Charles and Diana separated in 1992. Their divorce was finalized in 1996. And it was during the '90s that Azagury created "The Famous Five," a collection of dresses that showed Diana in a new light. "This is a period when you see the Diana that we all loved, where she was feeling free from her marriage," said Azagury. "It was her new life starting. She was fit, she was training. She looked phenomenal, and these dresses were saying exactly what she wanted to say, that she was a free woman. She could wear what she wanted to wear. She moved away from royal protocol with the length of the dresses. It was kind of a rebellion, but not a rebellion. But it was her way of telling people that she's her own woman." But Azagury admitted he wasn't prepared for Diana's bold fashion request. "[She surprised me] only once," he said. "She wanted to go super short on the dresses, and we wouldn't allow it, particularly on that blue ['Swan Lake' dress from June 1997]. It was quite a low décolletage and quite short anyway, and she wanted to go even shorter. We just said, 'Look, you're not going to have a dress left and you are a princess. We've got to remember you're a princess.' So it was way short anyway, so that's really the only request we would not abide by." Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter Azagury said that one of Diana's favorite colors to wear was black, which, for the royals, is typically reserved for mourning. But the princess, who was thriving during the era of supermodels, wore several pieces by Azagury that were low-cut, figure-hugging, and showcased her bare, lean arms. Her "Venice" dress from 1995 was a bright red silk two-piece featuring a short skirt. The 1997 "Washington" dress featured a deep V cut in the back. "After Diana's marriage, she portrayed herself in a slightly different manner," Azagury explained. "She had total freedom… She could wear what she wanted to wear. She was able to wear black, which she's usually not allowed to wear because royals only wear black for funerals." "So the minute she was away from that, the first dress we made for her… was a black dress we made for her after the Martin Bashir interview… a black sexy dress," he shared. "That was her way of saying, 'This is me, this is the new me. I'm confident.' And it had all of those things in that one dress. She treated the dresses like that all the way through." And as one of the most photographed women in the world, there was no room for error, Azagury stressed. "As a designer, my main thing was to make sure that every single little thing on the dress was perfect," he said. "She was stepping out of her shell, and she would have 500 photographers surrounding her, so everything had to be perfect, even though the dresses were very, very simple." "It took a lot of work to get everything immaculate, and that was my job," he said. "We never had any mishaps at all. We just didn't want to end up in a circle of shame with a bit of something sticking out. So really, it was my job to make sure that everything was perfect for her." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News Azagury created what royal watchers have coined the "Final Goodbye" dress. It was a full-length black dress highlighting a plunging neckline, thin straps and a high front slit. Diana was fitted for it in London just before she flew to Paris. "I think it might've been for a Disney premiere, so we wanted to make it more wow than the other dresses and make it really Hollywood red carpet," said Azagury. "All that had to be done was to [adjust] the straps. Sadly, she never got back to wear it." But her legacy lives on, he said. "The princess is still indirectly affecting fashion, affecting the other royals," said Azagury. "Of course, anytime that Kate wears something that possibly remotely looks like something Diana wore… it always gets compared in the newspapers. So, she's still there." "In a way, the dresses that she wore at the time, yes, they were fashions of the time, but they were timeless pieces," he reflected. "Any of the dresses that I made, for instance, could be worn today, and they wouldn't look out of place. There's something to say about her dress sense… it went quite deep."Original article source: Princess Diana's bold request was the one thing her designer refused: 'You are a princess'

Johnny Depp Admits That Three People Betrayed Him During Amber Heard Trial: 'They Did Me Dirty'
is once again speaking out about the turbulent aftermath of his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife , this time labeling himself a 'crash test dummy' for the #MeToo movement. In a new interview, the 62-year-old actor reflected on how the media frenzy and public opinion during his defamation trial highlighted who in his life stood by him, and who didn't. Johnny Depp also described the emotional toll the trial took on him personally and professionally. 'As weird as I am, certain things can be trusted. And my loyalty is the last thing anybody could question," Depp told The Sunday Times. "I was with one agent for 30 years, but she spoke in court about how difficult I was. That's death by confetti, these fake motherf-ckers who lie to you, celebrate you, say all sorts of horror behind your back, yet keep the money. That confetti machine [is] going because what do they want? Dough." 'I'll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty,' Depp revealed, though he declined to name names. 'Those people were at my kids' parties. Throwing them in the air. And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice." The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor's comments come after his highly publicized trial against his ex Amber Heard, where bombshell accusations were dropped regarding assault and abuse. 'I was like a crash test dummy for MeToo, … and I sponged it, took it all in,' he said, referring to the global reckoning sparked by the #MeToo movement, which began in 2006 when activist Tarana Burke coined the phrase. 'And so I wanted from the hundreds of people I've met in that industry to see who was playing it safe. 'Better go woke!'' #MeToo went viral in 2017 after actress Alyssa Milano encouraged survivors of sexual assault and harassment to share their stories using the hashtag. Heard's allegations against Depp surfaced in May 2016, about a year before the #MeToo movement exploded in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The "Aquaman" actress accused Depp of domestic violence, eventually filing for divorce and securing a temporary restraining order. The couple finalized their split in August of that year, reaching a $7 million settlement. But the legal battles were far from over. In March 2019, Depp sued Heard for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post, where she described facing backlash for speaking out against abuse, though she never mentioned Depp by name. The actor claimed the piece damaged his reputation and career. The U.S. defamation case kicked off in April 2022 and quickly became a media spectacle. Over the course of a six-week televised trial, both actors accused each other of verbal, physical, and emotional abuse. In June, a Virginia jury ruled largely in Depp's favor, ordering Heard to pay $10.35 million in damages. Depp was also ordered to pay $2 million to Heard over one count in her countersuit. By December, the former couple reached a final settlement. Heard would pay Depp $1 million, which he pledged to distribute among several charities. In the months that followed, Heard and her young daughter, Oonagh Paige, quietly relocated to Spain, leaving the Hollywood chaos behind, at least for now. These comments come just days after Depp was spotted at Niño Jesús University Children's Hospital in Madrid dressed as his iconic "Pirates of the Caribbean" character, Captain Jack Sparrow. Photos from the visit captured Johnny Depp dressed in full pirate attire, laughing with children and exchanging heartwarming pinky touches, a moment that brought smiles to both fans and hospital staff. "From Osakidetza, and especially from all the staff at the Donostia University Hospital, we would like to express our infinite gratitude to Johnny Depp for his time, support, and energy, as well as to @sansebastianfes for facilitating this visit," Niño Jesús University Children's Hospital shared in a post.

actor Walton Goggins recently gave his opinion on the public's perception of actors' performances at an actor roundtable. Goggins launched his acting career in the early 2000s. However, he only experienced a significant rise in fame in recent years. This fame came via scene-stealing performances in shows such as The White Lotus, Fallout, and The Righteous Gemstones. The White Lotus star Walton Goggins recently appeared on The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actor Roundtable. Cooper Koch, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne, Jeffrey Wright, and Adam Scott also featured in this roundtable. During their discussion, the actors were asked if there was anything they wished they had known earlier in their careers. This led to Goggins sharing his story on public perception. Goggins said that he had to 'constantly check' his 'ego.' He stressed how an actor had to take on work of 'a certain caliber,' or risk being seen by the public in a particular way. 'Who gives a f— what other people think?' Goggins asked. 'At the end of the day, go to work.' Goggins subsequently emphasized that actors shouldn't 'manage' or 'try to dictate' what their acting experience will be like. Additionally, Goggins explained how fan interactions panned out for him. He noted how people, upon meeting him, felt like they knew him, wanted to share a drink, or simply 'hang out' with him. He also mentioned that he had gotten into disagreements with fans during discussions about episodes of projects he was involved in. Elaborating, when asked about the disagreements, Goggins said, 'Well, yeah. I mean, if they're sharing an idea, like, 'This is what I think.' I'll say, well, it's interesting that it hit you that way. I think you're wrong.' However, Goggins acknowledged liking the conversations he had with fans. Understanding that what he said next would 'sound weird,' he shared that every time he was 'stopped on he street,' he felt that he could 'provide for' his family. 'Like, it's a blessing, not a curse,' he added. The post The White Lotus' Walton Goggins on Public Perception: 'Who Gives a F—' appeared first on - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.
