John Travolta Remembers Dancing With Princess Diana in This Dress "as If It Were a Fairytale"

John Travolta has recently commented on his "fairytale" moment with Princess Diana in an interview for Esquire Mexico, and these photos of the duo dancing at a 1985 White House gala instantly popped into our mind. On the evening of, the late royal stepped out of the car in this midnight-blue velvet Victor Edelstein gown, accessorized with an ornate pearl choker and sapphire earrings.

"Think of the setting. We were at the White House. It's midnight. The stage is like a dream. I approach her, touch her elbow, invite her to dance. She spins around and gives me that captivating smile, just a little sad, and accepts my invitation. And there we were, dancing together as if it were a fairytale," Travolta said, depicting the scene, in which songs from Saturday Night Fever set the tone.

But where did the dress end up after that night, which Travolta has stamped in his memory "as a very special, magical moment"? Well, Princess Diana wore it once more to the premiere of Wall Street in 1988. Later, Historic Royal Palaces acquired the gown at an auction for about $280,000, and it has since been put on display at Kensington Palace.

Ahead, reminisce with photos of the Princess of Wales wearing the dress on two separate occasions, and enjoy a video of it being unpacked and installed for the display.

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
