- Celebrities gathered at London's Serpentine Gallery for the annual summer party on Tuesday.
- Back in 1994, Princess Diana attended a gala at the same gallery in her iconic "revenge dress."
- Venus Williams and Diane Kruger seemingly channeled the late royal in all-black ensembles.
Back in 1994, Princess Diana made headlines around the world when she arrived at a gala hosted at the Serpentine Gallery in what was quickly dubbed her "revenge dress."
On the night that a controversial documentary about King Charles, then Prince Charles, aired (in which he was interviewed and admitted to having an affair) in 1994, the princess arrived at a gala hosted at the Serpentine Gallery in a velvet off-the-shoulder black dress with a plunging neckline. It's since widely been recognized as her "revenge dress."
Nearly 30 years later, the Serpentine Gallery still welcomes some of the biggest names in fashion, entertainment, and art annually for a glitzy summer party. On Tuesday, high-profile guests such as Orlando Bloom, Golda Rosheuvel, and Venus Williams gathered for the latest event in some daring ensembles.
Some even appeared to put their own spin on Diana's "revenge dress" moment – take a look.
Diana Kruger put a modern spin on Diana's all-black "revenge dress" with a look that featured a sheer paneled bodice and latex boots.
Kruger, 46, completed her David Koma-designed mini dress with a statement choker necklace and black opera gloves.
Venus Williams went for a black midi dress, but added a pop of color with her pastel-pink balayage.
The 43-year-old tennis star wore Miu Miu to the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party, according to Just Jared. The dress featured delicate embellishments throughout.
Similarly, Jourdan Dunn went for an all-black ensemble – hers featured a bedazzled built-in scarf.
The floor-length gown also came with a thigh slit and a daring bodice cutout. She paired it with silver jewelry pieces and a blunt bob hairstyle.
"Orange Is the New Black" star Natasha Lyonne's playful minidress drew several parallels to Diana's "revenge dress."
From the off-the-shoulder neckline to accessorizing with sheer stockings, Lyonne's Christopher Kane ensemble – styled for her by Leith Clark – was straight out of Diana's "revenge dress" playbook.
Lyonne put a 1960s twist on the look by pairing the dress with chunky, sparkly heels and framing her face with a Bridget Bardot-style fringe.
Golda Rosheuvel of "Bridgerton" brought a much-needed pop of color to the summer party in a turquoise-blue pantsuit.
All smiles at the gala, Rosheuvel, 53, opted to celebrate the summer in a colorful way. Her loose-fitting suit was wrapped at the waist with a black belt. The "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" star paired it with baby-blue leather gloves and a similarly colored purse.
In true summer fashion, Orlando Bloom went for a sleeveless look that featured a deep V-neck.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, 46, accessorized his grey sleeveless suit with black leather shoes and blue-tinted sunglasses.
Ruth Wilson's Serpentine Summer Party outfit, a draped bustle top over black pants, was essentially two looks in one.
The seafoam-green asymmetric draped top is the work British designer label Erdem. It featured ruffles, a cinched waist, and an embroidered bodice.
Wilson, 46, layered the shirt over a pair of black wool pants – she accessorized with black heels and a matching clutch.
British pop singer Ellie Goulding put on a bold display in a leather two-piece.
According to an Instagram story shared by stylist Georgia Medley, the British singer's look was designed by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini.
Similar to Diana's Serpentine "revenge dress," the dress that Goulding, 36, wore had a plunging, sweetheart neckline.
Andrew Garfield kept it casual in a breezy grey suit.
The "Amazing Spiderman" star, 39, also coordinated his white button-up shirt with a pair of crisp white sneakers.
Munroe Bergdorf glittered like gold in a sheer, delicately embroidered floor-length gown.
Bergdorf, a model, contributing British Vogue editor, and activist, paired her glittery gown with matching gold heels and kept her hair down in loose curls.
Lady Mary Charteris also went the sheer route in a bedazzled gown that showed off a pair of black underwear underneath.
An Instagram post shared by the model and DJ showed how she paired the sparkly off-the-shoulder Self-Portrait gown with chunky heels from the Italian shoe-wear brand Aquazzura.
