Since the first season, we’ve been binging Netflix’s The Crown for all the tea that the drama series spills about the real-life royal family. But now that season four has officially introduced Emma Corrin as Princess Diana, there’s another reason we’re tuning in.
Arguably the most stylish royal there ever was, Princess Diana’s timeless sense of fashion was such a large part of her legacy that the show has tried to recreate some of her most iconic looks in the process of documenting her beginnings as the Princess of Wales.
From the butter yellow overalls she wore when meeting Charles and bold ’80s suits, to her larger-than-life wedding dress that costume designers got spot-on.
