Diana’s so-called revenge dress is iconic for a reason: the same night Charles’ documentary – in which he would finally admit being unfaithful to his wife – was due to be released, Diana stepped out in her sexiest dress. The headlines, if nothing else, would still be hers. Yahoo UK’s executive royal editor – Omid Scobie – explores how this unforgettable moment was depicted in the newly released season five of The Crown. He explains why Diana wasn’t even meant to be wearing the Christina Stambolian design that night, and how the look could easily have never ended up in the history books – or on Netflix. Scobie breaks down everything about Diana’s moment of triumph, from the pressures on Elizabeth Debicki to pull the look off on-screen, to why this was the most strategic fashion choice of modern times.
