Princess Diana’s Revenge Dress “The Crown” “Feels Like Cosplay”
“The Crown” is back – and so is the iconic fashion of Princess Diana.
The fifth season of the hit drama Netflix premieres tomorrow, and along with all the royally juicy drama, fans can expect Elizabeth Debicki’s unique looks as the late Princess of Wales – including her infamous “Dress of revenge”.
The latest installment of “The Crown” will chronicle the breakup of the marriage between Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the 1990s, and the black Christina Stambolian dress that Diana wore after confessing the future king’s unfaithfulness will eventually appear on screen – although one royal expert is not t pleading with the appearance.
“I find their dress beautiful, but to be honest there is no comparison to the original,” royal expert i “Every day” founder Kinsey Schofield told Page Six Style, adding that “you can’t help but think about Diana in a dress.”
“There’s something so iconic about this dress that it almost feels like a cosplay when I see someone else in it,” she said of the sexy bare shoulders mini.
However, the expert emphasized how “it was important for them to recreate her and tell this story, because we suddenly realized how much she was hurt”. [by Charles] and how she reacted to the situation and how brilliant it was. “
The Dress of Vengeance is almost a character in the Charles and Diana saga, marking the moment when a seismic shift occurs in the deceased princess’s wardrobe.
“I think just by watching what I’ve seen so far, they are transmitting the evolution of her confidence and feelings through her wardrobe,” said Schofield.
“At the beginning of the season, in the early 90s, she dresses like Easter mom, pastels… the farther on the show and the closer to the end of the decade, she becomes more sexy, you can see the influence of pop culture on Diana. ”
Indeed, in the Season 5 trailer, the lavender “Easter Mama” costumes give way to Diana’s bolder appearance as viewers see the princess gain confidence and talk about her relationship.
“You see a kind of payback and revenge wardrobe at the end of the season which is exciting and I know fans are excited to see it,” said Schofield.
The host of the podcast also pointed to the “huge red down coat” that the deceased royal wore while jogging on an Austrian ski holiday, as one of her most anticipated stylizations at Dębicki.
“Street style is very important,” said Schofield. “By seeing her dressed, we can see more of her personality. She was a nice mom. Her wardrobe mirrored who she really was. She was the first royal to say, “I really don’t care what I’m wearing.”
And while royal fashion fans will easily spot more iconic looks in the trailer, such as a glimpse of the British Lung Foundation sweatshirt she wore at a 1988 polo match, the outfits aren’t always seen in the same context as the story.
For example, the short, beaded dress by Catherine Walker that Diana wore to the Vanity Fair dinner in 1995 appears in Season 5, for example – but during her appearance in Swan Lake, which was one of her last public appearances. royal before her death.
“They prioritized visually some of the costumes we recognize and threw them into plots that did not necessarily match that outfit,” said the royal commentator, adding that he appreciates the fact that the makers of “Crown” “know how important it is. her wardrobe of viewers and fans of Diana ”.
Despite the “sweet” drama that might be prepared for this season, Schofield has reflected on the legacy of Princess Diana.
“It’s so funny because we’re here, 25 years after she died, and we’re still trying to dress like her.”
Season 5 of “Crown” will be broadcast on Wednesday, November 9 on Netflix.
