Princess Diana was and will remain one of fashion’s most lasting icons. Eva Longoria seems to understand this perfectly. The actress was recently seen filming a new campaign in a memorable outfit of one of the Princess of Wales’s signature looks.

Photographed on the streets of Los Angeles while filming a new commercial for the Parisian beauty brand L'Oréal, of which she is an ambassador, Longoria once again reminded us why she’s such a timeless style icon. However, this time, it wasn’t a red carpet gown or a sparkling ensemble that turned heads. Instead, she chose a more understated elegance.

Her look was composed of light-wash mom jeans and a plain white T-shirt—simple, but never basic. The standout piece? A classic gray blazer, slightly oversized, tailored just enough to evoke that effortless elegance once personified by Lady Diana Spencer herself. Instantly, the look transported us to those moments when Diana walked the streets of London, polished but approachable, and always très chic.

Lady Diana: A timeless fashion muse

Even if she looked relaxed, this outfit spoke volumes about quiet luxury and classic taste. More than a nod to Princess Diana, it was a reminder that true style transcends time. Fashion is cyclical, and few figures have left such a lasting impression as Diana, the first wife of King Charles III.

Known for her refined yet relatable wardrobe, Diana broke royal fashion rules in favor of accessible elegance. Today, these looks continue to shape the street style of celebrities around the world. With this outfit, Eva Longoria confirms that fashion can be modern and nostalgic at once, bringing a beloved '90s silhouette into the present day with grace and confidence.

It’s one of the actress's most wearable and inspiring ensembles yet. Though she's typically seen in dazzling gowns and sophisticated tailoring, Longoria exudes glamour even in her casual moments. This look, in particular, offers the perfect balance between relaxed and polished—ideal for running errands in style and a chic day at the office.

For those looking for a street style and elegant vibe, swap out the heels for a pair of sleek loafers, trendy sneakers, or the season's favorite: ballet flats. The outfit's simplicity will open up a world of accessory possibilities.—bold earrings, a vibrant handbag, or distressed denim for an edgier take. This look is meant to be styled and re-styled - just like a true fashion icon.
