Elvis Dress refers to one of the late Princess Diana's most iconic outfits whom she referred to as "The Elvis Dress". It is a striking slender strapless dress in white silk entirely c overed in oyster pearls and sequins. It is made of slender, ankle length skirt with a matching cropped bolero jacket with elbow length sleeves and stand-up collar, also covered with oyster pearls and sequins. It is so called by the Princess "Elvis Dress" because it is similar to one of Elvis Presley white costumes embellished by sequins and with high standing collar which he wore in most of his concerts.

The "Elvis Dress'" was created by the British designer Catherine Walker for Princess Diana who wore the "Elvis Dress" during an official visit with Prince Charles to Hong Kong in 1989.
