There is no specific fictional "princess who wears all black" as her primary attire in popular media like Disney canon, where black is traditionally reserved for mourning or villains. However, the concept appears in popular culture in several ways:
The “Revenge Dress.” ✨ On June 29, 1994, Princess Diana stunned the world in a daring black cocktail dress at Kensington Gardens, the very night her husband, Prince Charles, publicly admitted to infidelity.
The "revenge dress" is an evening gown worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, to a 1994 dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. The garment has been interpreted as having been worn by Diana "in revenge" for the televised admission of adultery by her husband Charles, then Prince of Wales.
There are 13 official Disney princesses and six are women of color. Only one (Princess Tiana) is Black. “The Princess and The Frog” inspired actor Halle Bailey to play Arielle in last year's live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid,” she said.
Tiana is notable for being Disney's first black princess. The studio's decision to create a black heroine was met with mixed reception.
Cultural depictions
According to the guide, a black American princess is a pampered female of African-American descent born to upper-middle- or upper-class families. Her life experiences give her a "sense of entitlement", and she is accustomed to the best and nothing less.
Disney's First African-American Princess. For the first time in the storied studio's animated history, an African-American princess takes the title role (Jasmine from 1992's Aladdin was the first ethnic princess), reinforcing the message en masse that black is beautiful.
Born to King Nikola I of Montenegro and Queen Milena, Princess Milica and her younger sister, Princess Anastasia, were raised in an environment that valued education, ambition, and strategic marriages.
As for children with darker complexions, they have to ponder why they don't look like those characters considered beautiful. There is exactly one Black princess: Princess Tiana, in The Princess and The Frog.
She was removed because unlike the other princesses, Esmeralda was not as popular and her products did not sell as much.

No, there isn't an officially confirmed autistic Disney Princess, but many fans and theorists "autistic-code" characters like Belle, Rapunzel, Elsa, and Lilo, seeing autistic traits such as special interests (books, exploring), social isolation, and unique ways of processing the world in their stories, making them relatable for neurodivergent audiences. While Disney hasn't labeled a princess as autistic, the discussions highlight how characters often embody experiences common within the autistic community, like feeling like an outsider or finding comfort in specific activities.
Princess Magnolia may seem like the perfect, prim-and-proper princess, but she has a secret: when the monster alarm rings, she transforms into the Princess in Black, a fearless hero who battles monsters while keeping her royal identity under wraps.

I actually had no idea I would ever become a Disney Princess but it has become a life-changing platform for me. After auditioning for a singing contract at Walt Disney World (WDW) Entertainment, I received a phone call asking me to audition for the role of Tiana, the first African American Disney princess.

Tiana, the heroine of The Princess and the Frog, is a waitress in 1920s New Orleans who, with the help of her bayou creature sidekicks and a voodoo priestess fairy godmother, ends up marrying a prince. Her story is inspired in part by a real New Orleans icon, the restaurateur Leah Chase, the “queen of Creole cuisine”.

Anastasia was short and inclined to be chubby, and she had blue eyes and blonde hair.

She had fair hair, fine eyes, with impish laughter in their depths, and dark eyebrows that nearly met."

While some claim Jasmine is Arab because the movie opens with a song called Arabian Nights, others believe that the architecture in Agrabah is clearly based on the Taj Mahal, making Jasmine Indian. It's a debate that has fueled speculation that in Hollywood, Indians and Arabs are interchangeable.
It is fair and acceptable to dress up as your favorite princess; however, it is not acceptable to wear makeup to make your skin tone darker in hopes to appear more like Jasmine. Appreciating cultural differences is far different from mocking and making fun of them.
