Netflix has debuted the first official look at Elizabeth Debicki wearing the famous “revenge dress” that was worn by Princess Diana in 1994.
The black, off-the-shoulder dress is possibly one of Diana‘s most iconic looks of all time and she wore it the same night that Prince Charles publicly admitted to cheating on her during their marriage.
Diana reportedly had the dress in her closet for three years, but considered it too daring to wear. After she was told that Charles‘ interview would be airing that evening, she made a last-minute outfit switched and attended a Vanity Fair party at the Serpentine Gallery in London. The Sun shared the photo with the headline, “Revenge is chic. Di last night showed Charles what he’s missing.”
On filming the scene for The Crown, costume designer Amy Roberts told VF, “Elizabeth got out of the car and there was a palpable ‘wowza’ moment on set, like when Emma Corrin was revealed in her wedding dress. Film sets are noisy and there’s lots of tinkering going on but nobody had to say, ‘Right, quiet, action.’ Everybody just went quiet on both occasions. It shows you how important those two dresses are.”
