• Lady Di ages, so it would be 25 years after the fatal accident

  • These are the jewels that will be buried with Queen Elizabeth II and those that Kate, Camila and Meghan already have

  • The beauty lessons we learned from Lady Di and still work today

Lady Di's shadow is so long that even today, everything that has to do with the princess becomes news.

Especially if we refer

to her style,

because

Diana Spencer

was a woman who

set trends

wherever she stepped in the 80s and 90s, and until today.

A constant example is Kate Middleton herself, who does not hesitate to drink from the past looks of her mother-in-law to create her current outfits.

But the

Duchess of Cambridge

is not the only one who is reflected in the mirror of Diana of Wales.

The last sign of this is given by her who plays her in the fifth season of

'The Crown',

which finally arrives on

Netflix.

Her,

Elizabeth Debicki,

has been praised for her ability to blend in with the princess in the series (something that actress Emma Corrin already did in the fourth season).

Outside of the small screen, however, Debicki has something to say, too.

Elizabeth Debicki, the Lady Di of 2022 at the premiere of 'The Crown'

For sample, the button.

Yesterday

the red carpet for the premiere

of the fifth season of 'The Crown' was held in London, a parade of gala looks where Debicki powerfully attracted attention.

The actress chose an impeccable

Haute Couture dress by Dior,

with a strapless neckline draped across the chest.

The

golden bracelets,

also from the firm, as a complement.

Nothing to object to the look, but something to add,

Elizabeth Debicki's nod to Lady Di.

This is found in

the shawl

that the actress wears around her neck, like a choker, and that falls down her back almost like a tail.

Because the story is there to remind us that this detail

was already carried by Lady Di before...

(and, beware, not only her).

Lady Di at Cannes in 1987

It was 1987 and today

King Charles III and Diana of Wales

were attending the

Cannes Film Festival.

There, the princess did not go unnoticed in

a light blue chiffon dress

with a shawl as a scarf or stole, just as Debicki wore it yesterday.

Signed by designer

Catherine Walker,

the design also featured a criss-

cross draping detail,

this time at her midriff.

This dress has more history.

It was auctioned in 2011 by the auction house

Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles

and acquired for about

90,000 euros.

Curling the curl, from Grace Kelly to Lady Di

But beware, this is like a Russian doll of style tributes.

Because if in 1987 Diana of Wales wore that light blue Catherine Walker dress with a built-in stole, it was her peculiar way of winking at another princess of style, neither more nor less than

Grace Kelly.

The Monegasque princess wore a very similar model in

1956

in the film

'To catch a thief', by Alfred Hitchcock.

A fashion circle that closes, for now, with Elizabeth Debicki.
