A little while ago, I told you all about the company that brought back Princess Diana's iconic black sheep jumper, giving you the opportunity to recreate her exact look.

But at £250 for a novelty knit, the offer might not have been so tempting. Now what if I told you that you could now rent it for a fraction of the cost? That's more like it.

The sheep jumper is now available to rent on HURR, from £37 to £90 depending on how many days you want it for. It is in a size L (this look works well oversized) and actually belongs to style influencer Lucy Williams.

For a bit of background, a young Diana Spencer first wore the red knit, emblazoned with sheep, to watch her fiancé play polo in 1981.

At the time, it made headlines for its fun design – a black sheep among a row of white sheep – though some later said it was a metaphor for a rebellious Diana paving her own path within the royal family.

Lucy also owns another iconic Diana jumper, also by Rowing Blazers, which features the slogan 'I'm a luxury' and which Diana wore on a day out with Prince Harry.

All you need to do if you wish to rent either jumper is create an account on HURR and reserve it for when you wish.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
