We (alongside the rest of the world) are patiently waiting for the sixth and final season of The Crown, which hones in on the life and tragic death of the late Princess Diana.
The trailer has already revealed we’ll bear witness to plenty of her iconic outfits. But whilst we sit tight until November 16 when the Netflix binging can finally begin, Elizabeth Debicki just gave us a Diana-inspired red carpet moment to whet our appetites, paying homage to Diana's most notable dress of all time.

She paired the look with sheer black tights and Manolo Blahnik pumps to create a full look that nodded to Princess Diana’s most iconic look.
From the red carpet to her street style, the late royal had more notable fashion moments throughout her life than we can count, and possessed a sartorial agenda so desirable that her style is still influencing new generations.

It was named the revenge dress because she wore it on the same evening the-then Prince Charles confessed to his adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Black off-the-shoulder dresses have become synonymous with that moment, and Elizabeth’s sleek, effortlessly chic midi put a contemporary twist on a timeless look, and was yet another nod to the character she has portrayed so impressively on screen.

The look directly nodded to the pale blue silk chiffon dress designed by Catherine Walker that Princess Diana wore at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.
The Crown Season 6 Part 1 premieres on Netflix on November 16.
