Behold Princess Diana's Iconic Revenge Dress in 'The Crown' Season 5

Just two words encapsulate the sartorial spectacle: Revenge Dress. The iconic ensemble worn by Princess Diana in 1994 has made an indelible mark, gracing the screen in Season 5, Episode 5 of 'The Crown'. Even 25 years after her untimely demise, the enduring influence of the people's princess on fashion remains vivid and compelling.

Apart from Diana's opulent wedding dress that captured the world's attention, none of her ensembles stands out more prominently than the striking black off-the-shoulder gown. This iconic garment holds particular significance as it was worn on the same day that Prince Charles publicly confessed to infidelity in a nationally televised interview.

Under the creative direction of Amy Roberts and Sidonie Roberts, The Crown's costume team has artfully reinterpreted the iconic garment, originally designed by Christina Stambolian. Notably, this marks the first instance in the series where a member of the royal family is portrayed wearing black outside the context of a funeral.
