The Crown Just Recreated Princess Diana's "Revenge Dress" With Scary Accuracy

Filming is underway for The Crown's fifth season and the costumes promise to be second-to-none. Elizabeth Debicki, who you may remember from The Night Manager or The Great Gatsby, is set to play Princess Diana in her early 30s in the 1990s. (She takes over from Emma Corrin, who played the icon in the '80s.) Thanks to paparazzi images, we have a sneak peek at perhaps the royal's most famous outfit, second to her wedding dress: her "revenge dress." 

But first, a little background: Princess Diana attended a gala at the famed Serpentine Gallery on June 29, 1994, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress by Christina Stambolian, a Greek designer who established her brand in London. Earlier this same day, a documentary aired in which Prince Charles admitted to having an affair during his marriage to Diana. The timing of the event, where the princess looked positively stunning, led people to dub her look the "revenge dress." 

Now, 27 years later, Debicki has recreated the outfit with uncanny accuracy, including the hair, jewelry, dress, and sheer tights. Scroll down to see the homage and shop pieces to emulate it yourself. 

Here, Princess Diana was being welcomed to the gala Serpentine Gallery in London. 
This photo of Princess Diana was the 1994 version of a viral sensation.

A steal at just $15. 
This one is a bit longer than Princess Diana's, but no less chic. 
This one is even styled with similarly sheer tights, so you know it's perfect.
The OG dress had some very pretty ruching like this one does. 
Sheer tights are essential to recreating this look. 
None other than First Lady Jill Biden owns this clutch. 
Sleek and simple. 
You'll never regret investing in classic black pumps. 

Next, Hailey Bieber wore the new platform Uggs that will sell out by December.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
