Princess Diana's iconic look brought back to life
The princess' outfit at the time inspired the term "revenge dress" as the event took place on the night ITV aired a documentary in which her then-estranged husband Prince Charles admitted to wearing the dress during his marriage to now-wifeCamilla, Duchess of Cornwallto have had an affair. Vanity Fair reported that, according to Stambolian, Diana originally purchased the dress in 1991, but by then thought it was too risqué to wear. In Tina Brown's 2007 biographical book "The Diana Chronicles," Stambolian told a fashion commentator about it. Diana is said not to have played the scene like Odette (from Swan Lake), who is innocent in white. She was clearly angry and was wearing bright red nail polish, something she had never done before.
Elizabeth Debicki is the second actress to portray Princess Diana, the mother ofPrinz Williamand Prince Harry, portrayed. Emma Corrin played a younger version of the beloved icon and philanthropist in the series' fourth season, which debuted in November 2020. The fifth season of The Crown is scheduled to release in November 2022. The photos show Debicki getting out of the car with Diana's sapphire, diamond and pearl necklace. Of course she is wearing the replica black silk crepe cocktail dress by Christina Stambolian. This was Diana's way of saying that she had already evolved from a repressed royal to an independent woman through her voice and style.
