At last night's premiere of The Crown, Elizabeth Debicki's Dior dress paid subtle homage to Princess Diana.
Her gown, which was Dior Haute Couture, was a simple strapless column that exposed her collarbone and wrapped around her neck. But for fans of Diana, it was so much more than just a dress. Cast your mind back to 1987. The occasion was the. Princess Diana attended with her then-husband Prince Charles, as he was then, and wore the most spectacular gown by Catherine Walker. Strapless and icicle blue, its stand-out feature was a chiffon scarf that looped around her neck and hung down her back.
Her 'scarf' was actually part of the gown's reverse, although it did trail down her back like Diana's. And obviously the colour - black instead of that arrestingly pale blue - marked a distinct difference. Perhaps it's because this series of, which picks up in the '90s during what was to be arguably the most turbulent period of the monarchy, is more sombre.
