On Netflix’s The Crown, actors Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki portrayed Princess Diana from the start of her relationship with King Charles (then-Prince Charles) to her tragic death.

In her time in the public eye as part of the British royal family, Diana — and what she was wearing — was always on display. She became a fashion icon, whether dressed in a bright blue blazer or donning an off-the-shoulder little black dress. Her wedding gown is still considered one of the most iconic bridal looks of all time, and the wardrobe department on The Crown replicated that and Diana’s signature style to Emmy-nominated perfection.

From seemingly exact outfits to others more inspired by the real clothes from actual events depicted on the show, here are the best looks recreated for The Crown’s Princess Diana.

Corrin said everyone on set “went completely silent” when she stepped out in a replica of Princess Diana’s wedding dress. Everything from the frilled lace to the embroidered sequins resembled the dress Diana wore on her big day.

Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Diana in the final seasons of the show, looks uncanny in a shot from season 5. The actress wore a cerulean blue blazer over a black dress for a scene in which Princess Diana drops off a teenage Prince William at the elite Eton College.

Debicki channeled the beloved royal again with a red plaid dress and red hat for a scene that appears to be recreating Princess Eugenie’s royal christening. While the patterns of the dresses are slightly different, the look is very on par with Diana’s early ’90s style.

While filming in Mallorca, Spain, Debicki was spotted in another red look — a sleek tailored dress with a belt that mirrored the dress Princess Diana wore during a 1997 visit to a hospital in Harrow, England.

Princess Diana’s “Revenge Dress”

The Crown successfully recreated what is perhap’s one of Princess Diana’s most iconic looks, her “revenge dress.” The royal wore the iconic off-the-shoulder, little black dress on the night Prince Charles confessed his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles during an interview. In season 5 of The Crown, Debicki wore an almost identical dress as well as a similar pearl necklace.

In season 5, The Crown depicted Princess Diana’s powerful speech during a 1997 visit to Angola, where Diana made history by walking across an active minefield to broadcast the call for an international ban on landmines. For the scene, Debicki mimicked Diana’s blazer and jeans combination along with chunky gold earrings.
