As seen in the trailer, Elizabeth Debicki, who is leaving fans buzzing over her portrayal of Princess Diana, dons a copy of the black “Revenge Dress” that Princess Diana notably wore in November 1994. Considered one of Princess Diana’s most memorable looks, she wore it to a Vanity Fair party on the evening Prince Charles revealed his affair on national television. With public opinion of him already at a low, the revelation had the unintended effect of making him even more unpopular. Though the princess had commissioned the dress three years earlier, she considered it too daring to wear — until that evening.
When Entertainment Weekly asked what it was like to wear “The Crown’s” reproduction of the dress, Debicki described it as “Very significant and quite powerful, but also it provoked something in me as an actor,” she told the outlet. “I can’t really explain it. It’s pretty incredible that a dress would represent a moment in history or that this human’s life would represent so much and become so iconic. So that was a big day on set for me!”
According to Debicki, friends were immediately curious about whether she would get to wear the Revenge Dress after her casting announcement. “It fascinated me how entranced people were with that dress … When it became known that I had the part, I received these text messages saying congratulations, [but] there was also a huge amount of text messages about the Revenge Dress. ‘Do you get to wear the Revenge Dress?’ ‘Oh my God, you get to wear the Revenge Dress!'”
