While it’s fascinating to imagine what life was like way back when it was even cooler when you could see an actual photograph, it makes it almost palpable. We’ve assembled a collection of vintage photographs of people who had that special something – that unique coolness that so many of us strive for. Some photos are of famous figures from the past, while others are of everyday people just like us, who mark a moment in history. Let’s dive into the past.
#1: Mother’s Day Race, 1991
The public loved Princess Diana, and this photo is a perfect example of why. Among other things, she was known for breaking royal protocol and being down-to-earth and relatable, which the British royal family had not seen until then. This photo captures Diana showing her competitive side.

This action shot of Lady Di participating in a Mother’s Day race at her son William’s school is unprecedented. No one had ever seen a royal running barefoot in a skirt before! She was a truly elegant woman, even when she broke protocol and played soccer, and this photo of her showing her playful side makes her all the more relatable.
