The actress, who has played the late Lady Di since season 5 replacing Emma Corrin, stunned at the Los Angeles Season 6 Part 1 premiere on Sunday in a fitted black midi dress from Bottega Veneta’s SS24 collection featuring an off-the-shoulder design and a sweetheart neckline.
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.

Arguably, her most poignant outfit was the black, off-the-shoulder midi dress by Christina Stambolian that she wore to a Vanity Fair party in 1994 which ‘broke’ royal protocol. 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.
At the Season 5 premiere, Elizabeth stepped out on the red carpet outside London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane in a haute couture black strapless cut-out gown and matching scarf by Christian Dior. 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.
Season 6 Part 1 premieres on Netflix on November 16.
