And sometimes, that’s not a bad thing.

A few months ago, a sound clip of Connie Francis’ Pretty Little Baby from 1961 resurfaced and went viral, filling For You Pages worldwide. It wasn't even a chart-topper back then, yet today it has millions of listeners humming along.

Fashion works the same way. Princess Diana's “revenge dress” or her understated “old money” off-duty looks are still referenced daily by stylists, Tik-Tok creators and fashion editors alike.

Scroll long enough, and you'll find people not just recreating her iconic outfits but also her daily habits, including what she ate for breakfast.
