Bruce Oldfield, one of the royal family's favourite fashion designers, is celebrating his 70th birthday on Tuesday.
The British couture designer, who was one of Diana, Princess of Wales' favoured designers, was brought up in foster care before he was adopted by a seamstress.
He went on to create luxury dresses for royals, as well as celebrities such as model Jerry Hall and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, in a career spanning 45 years.
Diana wore a glistening floor-length gown by Oldfield to a star-studded charity catwalk in aid of child care charity Barnardo's, at the Grosvenor House Hotel in 1985.

Oldfield's designs have hit the red carpet at the Oscars, including when former model Heather Mills wore a flower-patterned cutout dress by him in 2002.
She attended the 74th annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, alongside her then-partner and Beatles musician Sir Paul McCartney.
Oldfield designed the world's most expensive abaya at the time – a long outer garment worn by some Muslim women – in 2008.
British electric violinist Linzi Stoppard modelled the £175,000 garment at the Intercontinental Hotel in central London.
The British designer also created McDonald's staff uniforms in April 2008, which were neutral-toned.
This range of specialist workwear was to be rolled out to the 67,000 McDonald's employees in Britain at the time, according to Vogue.
