Princess Diana's style remains a major source of inspiration for A-listers today. From royals like Kate Middleton to celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Diana's wardrobe is equal parts elegant and timeless. Now, Elizabeth Debicki - who plays the late People's Princess in season 5 of The Crown - has paid tribute to one of the royal's most iconic looks.
Overnight, the cast of the hit Netflix show attended the world premiere in London. For the occasion, Elizabeth opted for a breathtaking designer gown. The black Dior number features a strapless front, with diagonal detailing around the waist before turning into a floaty, floor-skimming skirt.
Notably, Elizabeth's outfit includes a delicate scarf draped across the front of her neck before falling down the back of the dress like a long train. And it's this accessory addition that makes this look a subtle tribute to one of Princess Diana's most iconic fashion moments.
Here's a better look at the scarf from the back:

The Princess perfectly matched her aquamarine and diamond drop earrings and bracelet to her tulle number.
Over 30 years later and this Diana look remains one of the best red carpet fashion moments of all time.
