First Princess Diana, now Hailey Bieber: 4 Trends That Will Make a Comeback This Spring

      Princess Diana's fashion remains timeless. Despite the rise and fall of trends and the emergence of new style icons over the years, the late royal's ensembles continue to resonate with people in 2026. A perfect example is Hailey Bieber's spring fashion. It's unclear if Princess Diana influences Bieber's style, but there are noticeable parallels in their wardrobes. Some colors, patterns, and items that Bieber dons remind me of Diana's spring and summer looks from the '80s and '90s. For instance, Bieber's black-and-white polka-dot capri pants immediately brought to mind Diana's fondness for that same color scheme and print. While Diana never sported polka-dot capris specifically, she did have a penchant for patterned pedal pushers, including a pink gingham pair.
