The attire in Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ is among its best features. And even while the show doesn’t always depict ensembles precisely as they existed in real life, this just serves to heighten the impact of the similar fashion moments. So, keep scrolling to learn some of the most iconic looks from the show.
1. Season 5 (1990)
Queen Elizabeth’s flowy skirt, long jacket, and casual headscarf were all expertly portrayed in season 5 of the show. Actress Imelda Staunton portrays her wearing the same ensemble in a number of different ways over the years.
2. Season 4 (1997)
Princess Anne has maintained her classic and timeless style over the years. In season 4, actress Erin Doherty wore a brown tweed jacket and a scarf with a silk design, which was reminiscent of the Princess’s 1997 outfit for the Cheltenham Races.
3. Season 4 (1992)
Princess Diana had a wide range of go-to accessories in addition to her sapphire and diamond engagement ring. In season 4, ‘The Crown’ honored a gold wristwatch that was one of her favorites.
4. Season 4 (1989)
Despite only being shown from the waist up, Princess Diana’s bubblegum pink costume is strikingly similar to the Catherine Walker ensemble the Princess wore in Kuwait in 1989. The enormous pearl earrings are the last detail.
5. Season 4 (1989)
Queen Elizabeth’s off-duty attire is rather standard, but it’s crucial to get it just right. In season 4, ‘The Crown’ was able to perfectly replicate her plaid skirt, raincoat, and headscarf, even down to the Queen’s go-to pair of binoculars.
6. Season 4 (1988)
For the floral one-shoulder dress in season 4, the show’s wardrobe crew most likely drew inspiration from Lady Di’s red and black ruched taffeta ball gown. Both dresses have drop waists and long skirts.
7. Season 4 (1988)
Princess Diana dazzled in a gold and white brocade ball gown and bolero jacket in 1988. Originally created by Victor Edelstein, the dress debuted at the conclusion of season 4.
8. Season 4 (1987)
Diana frequently preferred boxier designs, such as a drop-waist sweater and pleated skirt, because she was a busy mother. Here, the actress wore this ensemble when Princess Diana departed for Australia after the show took note of her fashion choices.
9. Season 4 (1986)
The People’s Princess’ approachable, grounded attitude won her admiration. Actress Emma Corrin wore a hot pink sweater and pink gingham leggings, one of her most famous ensembles.
10. Season 4 (1985)
Without a doubt, the classic Spencer Tiara is the most crucial item to get properly. On the day of her wedding, ‘The Princess of Hearts’ donned her family heirloom, which she wore to subsequent events. Diana wears it multiple times in season 4 of ‘The Crown’, and the exact design was reproduced.
11. Season 4 (1985)
It’s not surprising that Lady Di had many Barbour wax coats in her closet because she was a country girl at heart. Diana is shown in the show dressed in the elegant English outerwear she wore when she visited the Western Isles in 1985.
12. Season 4 (1983)
The lamé accents and the wide silver belt on Princess Diana’s famous teal ruffled ball gown were expertly made by ‘The Crown’. However, contrary to what the show implies, the Princess wore the bold dress during a state visit in Canada.
13. Season 4 (1983)
Diana’s attire at her meeting with Prime Minister Bob Hawke was crucial because her visit to New Zealand was politically significant. Even the bow detail on Princess Diana’s blue belted suit dress, which she wore during her visit, was replicated by ‘The Crown’.
14. Season 4 (1983)
Both Emma Corrin and Princess Diana appeared modest in a perfectly similar pale yellow mid-length smock dress while on a royal trip to Australia, surrounded by men wearing speedos.
15. Season 4 (1983)

16. Season 4 (1983)
In addition to Princess Diana, a 6-month-old Prince William is introduced to us in season 4. The smock shirt and tan bubble bottoms he wore on the 1983 royal tour were replicated in one scene.
17. Season 4 (1983)
The couple’s photo opportunity with Prince William was yet another noteworthy highlight of their Australian royal visit. The actress wore a silk dress with polka dots and an exaggerated bib collar, just like Princess Diana did in real life.
18. Season 4 (1983)
Both in real life and on the show, the royal couple looked stylish on their 1983 visit to Ayers Rock, Australia. The Crown attempted to imitate Diana’s white belted sundress and Prince Charles’s tan button-down suit precisely because the image on the right was so extensively shared.
19. Season 4 (1983)
In 1983, Princess Diana carried a baby Prince William on a royal tour, which was unprecedented. The actor portraying William wore the identical white onesie and knit hat as he did in real life for the momentous occasion in this show.
20. Season 4 (1983)
Up until 1986, Queen Elizabeth rode in the Trooping of the Colour ceremony each year while wearing her ceremonial uniform. Olivia Colman, dressed in a military jacket decorated with medals, filmed the yearly ritual while portraying the monarch.
21. Season 4 (1981)
Actress Emma Corrin wore an outfit that resembled one Princess Diana really wore a few years before the tour while posing for cameras on her royal tour of Australia and New Zealand. For the look, the show chose more ostentatious items.
22. Season 4 (1981)
Princess Diana is shown in season 4 taking princess lessons with her grandmother while wearing a button-down tartan dress with a high neck. The outfit was very similar to what Diana wore at the Braemar Games in Scotland shortly after her wedding.

The neckline of a velvet dress Princess Diana wore in November 1981 is strikingly similar to the lace Peter Pan collar she wore in season 4. At the time, the style was really popular.
24. Season 4 (1981)
The recreation obviously took inspiration from a ruffled high-collar top Princess Diana wore during her engagement trip to Tetbury, England, even though this ensemble isn’t an exact reproduction. During her first few years as a royal, the Princess wore a very similar look.
25. Season 4 (1981)
This season featured a recreation of Princess Diana’s famous taffeta wedding gown, complete with a 153-yard tulle veil and a 25-foot train. As close to the original as feasible was maintained by the costume designers. Actress Emma Corrin, who plays Princess Diana, told British Vogue, “The Emanuels, who designed the original, gave us the patterns, and then it was made for me”.
26. Season 4 (1981)
When Prince Charles was dressed for his wedding, the Netflix series remained loyal to its original format. On the special day, the Prince wore his naval commander uniform, full military dress, and a number of significant medals, including the Queen’s coronation medal.

30. Season 4 (1981)
We can all agree that a crucial scene in ‘The Crown’ is when it shows Prince Charles and Diana at their rehearsal in St. Paul’s Cathedral, a few days before their wedding. At her 1981 rehearsal, actress Emma Corrin wore a floral dress that was nearly identical to Princess Diana’s.
