“The Crown” has never shied away from tackling the British Royal family’s most memorable moments — and gorgeous fashion.
The Netflix series’ upcoming sixth and final season will hit the streamer in two parts.
The first four episodes of the concluding season will air on Nov. 16 and the remaining batch will debut on Dec. 14.
Princess Diana’s tragic death is at the forefront of “The Crown” Season 6, as seen in its trailer and so are many of her iconic fashion moments that made headlines just months before her shocking death.
The last segment will take viewers into the modern era of the British royal family, beginning with Diana’s passing in 1997 and ending in the mid-2000s.
But until then, let’s look back at the series’ most memorable Princess Diana fashion moments
Cheetah swimsuit 1990 & 1997
Elizabeth Debicki donned a replica of Princess Diana’s leopard-print one-piece bathing suit.
Diana wore the look in 1997 during a summer trip to the French Riviera with her then-boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who was also tragically killed just a month later in the Paris car crash.
This swimsuit should not be confused with a similar one Debicki wore in Season 5 when reenacting the vacation Diana took to the British Virgin Islands in April 1990 with sons Prince Willam and Prince Harry, as well as other members of the royal family.
Diving pic (1997)
Season 6 of “The Crown” will also see Debicki recreate Princess Diana’s famous diving board photo taken just one week before her death in Portofino, Italy, in 1997.
In the well-known photos, Di sits at the end of a diving board under a large body of water in a light blue one-piece bathing suit.
The photos were taken when Diana was dating Dodi Fayed and staying on his family yacht.
Historic landmine walk
Netflix released the first look at Debicki recreating Princess Diana’s famed landmine walk in October.
The scene will be included in Season 6 of the series and shows Debicki in a nearly-exact replica of Diana’s gold earrings, swept blonde hair, protective face mask, and a white collared shirt.
The real historic landmine walk in Africa happened just months before the Princess of Wales tragically died on August 31, 1997.
“The Crown” recreated the red-belted shift dress that Princess Diana wore for her last public engagement at the Northwick Park & St. Mark’s Hospital on July 21, 1997 for its upcoming Season 6.
Floral dress at 1988 polo match
Debicki wore a floral dress in the first episode of Season 5 similar to the ones that the real Diana wore in the ’80s and ’90s.
The episode took place in 1991 as Dianna and then-Prince Charles explored Italy on a yacht with their sons Prince William and Prince Harry.
The outfit could have been inspired by the blue floral dress Diana wore to a polo match in 1988.
Princess Diana wore at Balmoral Castle in real life
In that same episode, Debicki wears a white ball gown and tartan sash when Diana attends the Ghillies Ball at Balmoral Castle.
There were no photos of the real Diana at the event ever released to the public, video of the event shows Princess Di seemingly wearing something similar to what is depicted in the series.
“Revenge dress”
Perhaps the most notorious Princess Diana fashion statement was the little black “revenge dress” she wore to the Serpentine Gallery in 1994.
“The Crown” tackled this look in Season 5, Episode 5 with Debicki’s replicated dress and jewelry looking just as stunning as the real thing.
“Panorama” interview
“The Crown” Season 5 recreated Princess Diana’s infamous interview with disgraced BBC journalist Martin Bashir.
Debicki looked just like the late Princess of Wales in a nearly identical blazer and skirt that Diana wore for the event.
Engagement announcement
Emma Corrin only portrayed Princess Diana on “The Crown” for Season 4 but got to recreate Di’s iconic engagement outfit that she wore when she and then-Prince Charles announced their engagement on the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
The blue skirt-suit was bought off-the-rack at Harrods ahead of the February 24,1981 announcement.
The Cojana suit’s gorgeous sapphire hue tone went perfectly with Lady Spencer’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
Diana’s wedding dress — Season 4
“The Crown” costume designer Amy Roberts decided to “have fun with the replica rather than obsessing over the details” of Princess Diana’s wedding dress in Season 4 of the show.
The show paid tribute to the puffy sleeves and pearly hue of the real dress while not recreating it stitch by stitch.
Designed by former husband-and-wife duo Elizabeth and David Emanuel, the real dress, according to Daily Mirror, featured 75 feet of silk taffeta, 300 feet of tulle crinoline and 450 feet of netting for the veil.
