Paris Museum Unveils Diana’s ‘Revenge Dress’ Wax
The Grevin Museum in Paris has unveiled a wax figure of Princess Diana, presenting her in the iconic “revenge dress” that became a defining symbol of her public resilience.
The sculpture was revealed on 20 November, a date chosen deliberately to echo the anniversary of her candid BBC interview three decades earlier.
The museum, often compared with the Madame Tussauds in London, already features wax figures of King Charles III and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Until now, Diana had been a notable omission, especially given her enduring association with Paris, the city where she died in a car crash in 1997.
The new figure depicts Diana in a replica of the striking black Christina Stambolian dress she wore in 1994, the same evening Charles admitted publicly to being unfaithful.

The outfit, widely described as the “revenge dress”, became a defining moment in her complex relationship with the media and the monarchy.
In a statement, the museum said Diana remains a global cultural icon more than 28 years after her death, celebrated for her compassion, independence and lasting influence on fashion.
The unveiling was also seen as a subtle nod to her famous remark in the 1995 BBC interview, where she said “there were three of us in this marriage”, referring to Camilla Parker-Bowles, now the Queen.
With the new figure now on display, the Grevin Museum adds a long-missing presence to its royal gallery, while reigniting global interest in the life and legacy of the Princess of Wales.
