Reimagining Princess Diana's Sunglasses Style with Anea Hill


When you think of iconic eyewear moments, few compare to Princess Diana sunglasses. Long before social media or style influencers shaped what we wear, she was defining her own timeless aesthetic—complete with oversized sunglasses that made headlines. Her looks were never loud, but always unforgettable. She turned sunglasses into statements of strength, privacy, and quiet confidence.

This is Anea Hill’s tribute to her legacy, a modern interpretation of Princess Diana sunglasses through slow fashion, luxury craftsmanship, and elegant detail.

Why Princess Diana Sunglasses Still Matter

From post-gym strolls to royal press ambushes, Diana wore sunglasses like armor. They were her shield, her punctuation mark, her most personal accessory. Her frames were always purposeful—bold yet simple, powerful yet understated. The reason Princess Diana sunglasses remain iconic today is because they represented both identity and intent.

Diana gravitated toward oversized frames, black lenses, gold finishes, and refined silhouettes that enhanced her presence without overwhelming it. She wore them not to hide, but to express quiet power and that’s the philosophy behind every pair of Anea Hill sunglasses.

The Anea Hill Take on Princess Diana Sunglasses

If Diana were styling herself today, we imagine she would still be choosing pieces with classic energy and a modern edge. These Anea Hill designs reimagine her signature style with updated tones, refined silhouettes, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Stone

Stone is a sleek, small black frame that mirrors the understated simplicity Diana often favored. It feels casual, confident, and versatile, perfect for school runs, airport walks, or quiet afternoons out of the spotlight. If you’re building a look based on the Princess's sunglasses, this is where you start.

Chablis

Chablis is our take on a modern royal moment. With its deep maroon hue, it brings a bold twist to Diana’s neutral-toned sunglass choices. Picture her wearing it with cream blazers or burgundy cashmere. It’s classic, but never boring, just like she was.

Sea

Diana wore simple gold sunglasses often, especially in warmer months. The Sea frame captures that minimalist energy with a soft, lightweight structure and gentle shine. It’s one of our most timeless designs, imagined for the woman who lets her quiet luxury speak first.

Hampton

The ultimate oversized frame. Hampton echoes the iconic Princess Di sunglasses silhouette, those quiet car rides, press-dodging afternoons, and soft, unfazed smiles. The fit is comfortable, the impact is immediate. This pair is her signature, reimagined.

The Anea Hill Hat

Can you imagine? Diana in the Anea Hill hat. Understated, tailored, and timeless, it belongs in the same conversation as her wardrobe. It’s structured enough for a royal walkabout and effortless enough for a grocery run. In our minds, she’s already worn it.

Why We Still Look to Diana

Princess Diana didn’t follow fashion. She used it to tell her story. Her wardrobe was full of contradictions, soft and sharp, casual and composed. And she made sunglasses central to that expression. Our mission at Anea Hill is to create sunglasses with the same balance of elegance, comfort, and individuality. Sunglasses that feel just as iconic twenty years from now as they do today.
