Back in the '90s, Princess Diana couldn't take a step without making headlines—so when she decided to really give folks something to talk about, the results were iconic. In 1994, the debut of the "Revenge Dress" seen 'round the world. A few years later, a sexy leopard-print swimsuit that made quite the statement.

Diana donned the one-piece in '97. It was one of the many bespoke bathing suits by the brand Gottex that she rocked while vacationing with her new beau Dodi Fayed in St. Tropez. Dotted with big cat spots and stripes, the piece was flashy, fun and flirty. For many, it signaled the start of her new era—one free from the strict confines of royal protocol.

Needless to say, it was one of Diana's most memorable fashion moments (and that's saying a lot, considering who we're talking about here). While her saucy leopard number was custom-made for her by the late founder of Gottex, Leah Gottlieb, the brand currently has a stunning lookalike style up for grabs—and it's on sale.

Featuring a scoop neck and even lower scoop back, the Gottex Luma Jasper one-piece has a strikingly similar silhouette to the one worn by Diana, with an ultra-flattering fit that stretches and supports exactly where you'd want it to. But, of course, it's the shimmering leopard pattern that really nods to that famous swimsuit.

The number also boasts adjustable straps and soft, removable cups that allow you to get your own custom fit. Now that this beauty is marked down by more than $40, there's no better time to channel your inner Di—especially if you have a glamorous vacay of your own coming up.

The surplice neckline and wrap silhouette make this minimalist V-neck so flattering.

In addition to a U-wire insert at the bust that makes the girls look amazing, this palm-printed number features convertible straps that go from regular shoulder straps to a tie-neck halter style, as well as smoothing tummy control.

Calling all brides-to-be! Complete with underwire cups and a sleek ribbed fabric, this white one-piece is just the thing for your bachelorette trip or honeymoon.
