“I do know for a undeniable fact that it was a spotlight of being in the USA – it was her favourite second,” recalled Travolta, 71, of the memorable evening.
At simply 24 years outdated, Prince Charles‘ younger spouse captivated the world.
She had already cemented her place as a global model icon, a loyal mother to 2 lovely toddler sons and the beloved Individuals’s Princess.
However on that evening, she was the star of an unforgettable second in American historical past.
The event was a lavish state dinner, hosted by President Ronald Reagan and First Girl Nancy Reagan.
And the visitor record was a stunning mix of Washington, D.C.’s elite and Hollywood’s largest names – together with Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Gloria Vanderbilt – in addition to, after all, 31-year-old Travolta, who had skyrocketed to fame with Saturday Night time Fever and Grease.
Diana arrived wanting each bit the fairytale princess in a midnight blue velvet robe by designer Victor Edelstein, paired with a sapphire and diamond choker.
However what made the evening really legendary was what occurred on the dance ground.
