The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki Revisits Princess Diana’s Most Memorable Looks | Life in Looks
British Vogue presents Princess Diana’s Life in Looks with The Crown star, Elizabeth Debicki. Ahead of the release of Netflix’s The Crown Season 5, Elizabeth Debicki takes Vogue through Princess Diana’s 20 most memorable looks, from the infamous revenge dress to her first British Vogue cover in the ’80s featuring chandelier diamond earrings.
When asked for her favourite look, Debicki opted for Diana’s blazer, jeans and cowboy boots ensemble from the Guards Polo Club in Windsor (1988): “This is what I think we think of when we think of Diana in the ‘90s. The cowboy boots are incredible; we had these remade - I was obsessed with them. She was probably the first Royal to ever wear a baseball cap in public. Just to see a Royal off-duty and make it so cool. I think it’s so much a sense that she made all the choices herself”. Watch the full episode of British Vogue’s Life in Looks, as we break down Princess Diana’s 20 most memorable looks.

Elizabeth Debicki is such a great choice to play Princess Diana. She has that same quiet, serene aura that Diana had, even in her darkest times. I loved Emma Corin as well, she displays the wide-eyed naivety of the young princess very well. The casting for this show is always spectacular!
emma corrin goes by they/them pronouns 😊
@@vanite-blvd I don't care. She is a _she_ and a _woman_ (i.e. an adult human female) and so _she_ will remain. A single, individual person cannot be a "they/them", sorry. "She/her" pronouns ✅️ "They/them" pronouns ❌️
@@vanite-blvd One of the only people I've seen with my name (altho the last name is my first, and without the double R).
I think Debicki is perfect in the face. The rest of the shape is drastically animating the skinny persona for me. Diana wanted to be like that; she didn't look it all the time. The photos vs the show clip they gave here just really tells. The last actress hit the look of Diana perfectly, to me.
Yeah, Debicki is the only one who could play this part for Season 5, like Peter Dinklage was the only one who could play Tyrion.
Elizabeth's quick impression of Diana at 1:47 was so good! Can't wait to see season 5
I was about to say the same thing!
SAME! THAT WAS SPOT ON
it was too good im so excited!!
Me too
Oh yes! My jaw (figuratively) dropped!
She is perfectly cast as Diana. Tall, willowy, imbued with this inherent sense of refined, regal grace and delicate elegance from the way she speaks to her mannerisms. Elizabeth's depiction on The Crown will be THE definitive on-screen portrayal of the Princess of Wales, bar none. Just the way she speaks about her life with such invested passion is a joy to watch in itself.
She's Australian! Love E Debicki myself - but nobody not "a v British Girl," could play Prcs Diana - in fact I doubt any current actress could tbh🙏🇬🇧
Why can't Chinese people make a white baby? Two wongs don't make a white.
@@youreverypicture she's european by blood tho, polish dad and irish mom. also she's born in paris lol.
@@rovanajean9550 it makes her Russian not European, Poland is not a European country it is a Russian Slavic country
She’s nothing like Diana. Terrible choice of actress. 😢
*Princess Diana’s style is till this day considered more fashionable, iconic, & trendy than most celebrities or models style. & it’s been 25 years since she’s passed.*
I love how she speaks with such passion and respect of Diana🙌
I agree - but why is she in her underwear?
Lovingly with her own fond memories, almost like a sister or good friend🥰
I love that they do so much research but, as Dominic West points out, they then EVOKE rather than "imitate" the real people.
so sweet ❤
I'm utterly obsessed with the way she's flipping through the pages! So satisfying and smooth. Her impression in 1:47 is off the charts. Her aura perfectly fits Diana's, she sounds so elegant - and those eyes! Can't wait to watch her on screen, she's got that Emmy win up her sleeve.
I like how she taps her nails it’s so nice
Accidental ASMR....
calm down. obsessed by the way she flips pages? ok 😆
She’s a former ballet dancer!
I got chills, it felt like she was speaking to us from heaven...wow, the impression is immaculate....
I just finished season 5 and she needs to win an award for her performance. So incredibly perfectly cast it’s amazing.
She is far too tall and way too thin .....the voice was good though.
@@Blonde_Somnambulist there’s no need to body shame. Diana was tall and thin. Nothing wrong with that.
@@Blonde_Somnambulist so is Vanessa Kirby when she played Margaret..height is not the problem
She does! She is perfect.
she is too tall for the role. Diana was 1.78 Debicki is 1.9 She completely dwarfs John Major onscreen :) she is still a gorgeous woman though.
Elizabeth Debicki's performance as Diana is by far the best so far. There were times I forgot I wasn't actually watching Diana. This woman is a tremendous actor.
"I don't eat breakfast" ....the shift of voice...that was sooo Princess Diana
I teared up at the posthumous Vogue cover. It’s such a simple cover that shares exactly who Diana was - kind, beautiful, and genuine.
she was beautiful, was she? her big nose wasn't so beautiful............she was highly overrated, both in looks and in personality
Yes, she was kind, beautiful and genuine,
@@brianlaudrup5271 you must have the tiniest, cutest button nose Brian😍
She was stunningly photogenic, you can't argue with that
Brian is Camilla in drag. Lol.
Diana wasn't so thin! Diana's beauty can't be matched.
If she doesn't at least get an Emmy nom, if not a win, I'll eat my hat. It's unbelievable how well she has the mannerisms & speech down!
You can make $8,500 a week and doesn't require you to send money to anyone, ask me how?
@@acceleratefx ummm... annoying people with inane spam on KZhead comment threads?
I love the selection of Diana's outfits chosen for the video, and Elizabeth talks so thoughtfully and engagingly about Diana. She is clearly qualified to play this role - surely one of the trickiest to cast in film and television history. I'm excited to watch it.
Michael Jackson in the new biopic will the hardest cast for sure
I like this woman. She's clearly put a lot of herself into her work and sounds like she's gotten quite a lot out of it. Very thoughtful and empathetic. I see more roles for her coming soon.
NO ONE on the planet can compare with Princess Diana in her "revenge dress"!! It was iconic AND being gobsmacked in REAL time!!
Elizabeth looks anorexic in that dress. Hideous
@@TheCBKgirl I agree! I saw a picture of her, and (of course) it didn't do her justice; nor defined the moment when Dianna stepped out of her car, and chins dropped, globally!
@@connie6545 whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa, chins dropped globally? whoooooooooooooooooaaaa, she was SOOOOOO beautiful, WOW!!!!!! My chin dropped all the way to my sausage................. she was SO tall, SOOOOOOO elegant, SOOOOOOOO pretty (with a massive nose, tsk tsk)......................whooooooooooooooaaaaaaaa (oh, btw, how on Earth does a photograph not do someone justice? a photograph is a FACTUAL, in-situ representation of a person..........how does it NOT do someone justice, I wonder?) WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA
There are plenty of women who would've looked better in the dress. Iconic, no.
I wish Diana was still with us and able to tell us her own story of life in looks. Such a bright light that was extinguished far too soon. With all the good she brought to this world in such a short life; imagine the joy she could have continued to spread. So sad.
This woman does a stellar job as the “older” Diana. It’s an incredibly difficult role to play because quite frankly Diana was just so uniquely beautiful… 99.99% of female actresses can’t even hold a candle to her perpetual and unique radiance. I LOVE the scene in the movie theater (Diana would go to the movies by herself in a wig and glasses!!) and at the ballet all alone in her box. Debecki isn’t a dead-ringer but she definitely captures her confoundingly doelike qualities
LOL. You are quite ridiculous as Diana was not unique and many women can hold candles over Diana. As beauty goes she was okay, I've seen better.
The way she just slips into Diana so easily at 1:47 is INCREDIBLE!!!!😭😭😭👏👏👏👏👏I'm so excited for season 5!!!
i could listen to elizabeth talk forever her voice is sooo soothing
This was actually more informative than I originally thought. I just wanted to hear Elizabeth speak, but I ended up learning how Diana was able to speak to the world in photographs. Absolutely brilliant work, Vogue.
Love how deep Elizabeth's voice is
This was a delight! What a clever variation on the Life in Looks series. Elizabeth has such a serene presence and the kind of quietly captivating voice that needs an audiobook deal immediately 🎙 Can’t wait to see her in the role!
verified
I agree.. I sort of scanned the title, and thought well, Elizabeth Depicki is not that big of a celebrity (LOVED her in The Night Manager, I have to say) to yet have a Vogue memorable fashion moments video.. but her discussing everything she's learned while preparing for the role, and as part of Season 5 publicity, is a good twist
so happy to discover my favorite youtuber in the comments ❤
I love your videos 🤍 I can’t believe to see you here
Elizabeth is the essence of feminine elegance! The grace radiates from the screen whenever I watch her. Loved her in UNCLE, so excited for season 5!!
O my God...she was Vinchigera right?! Wow
I had shivers down my spine, watching her in The Crown - you could not get a better Diana at that time of her life! Well done, ED 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing acting of princess Diana. My admiration to Elizabeth
Since The Crown season 1 had premiered I always wondered who would portray the 90s confident Diana in the future seasons. Only two women came to my mind, Alexandra Maria Lara or Elizabeth Debicki. I still can't describe my happiness when I heard the latter was cast as Lady Di. We finally got an actress who looks so much like her. So stoked for season 5 already.
I was also thinking Phoebe Waller Bridge
@@Zanderthegrape Yeah I love Phoebe & she too has some tinges of mature Diana but I thought she was too well known as a comedic actress so they would not cast her in such a dramatic role.
Lara is too German to be Diana, granted she did make a good performance as Napoleon's Polish lover Marie Waleska in that 2002 miniseries
There is no other actor I imagined playing Diana. Only Elizabeth Debicki. I thought she looks so much like Diana ever since I saw her in the Night Manager. She has the stature, the voice, and some of the mannerisms. I love Alexandra Maria Lara but she’s too German, and doesn’t look at all like Diana. And I am calling it, Charles Dance should have not played Lord Mountbatten, but Prince Philip in Season 5.
emma corrin did a fantastic job though
Princess Diana is an epitome of elegance
Her performance as Princess Di was off the charts amazing. There were moments I completely forgot I was watching a fictional show.
Elizabeth’s voice is so beautiful, melodic, like listening to a gentle rain.
Diana's look post separation/divorce was everything! She seemed liberated and like she found her true style. Even her casual style was so cool!
The casting agent for Diana's role deserves a massive raise! First Emma and now Elizabeth. It's uncanny!
It really felt like I was watching the real Diana, I can't imagine anyone else playing her. She deserves all the awards! No one will ever be as stylish as Diana! I love that she was always herself. She's such an inspiration in every way. It's so incredibly sad she passed away just as she started feeling at peace for the first time in so many years.
GEt real.
Elizabeth did a fantastic job capturing her essence of fun and her loving size.thanks elizabeth for bringing diana princess of wales back to life
Then you are blind.
I don’t know if she realizes how much she captures Diana’s spirit. I don’t know what the affect is called when you recognize someone who should be dead is alive, but I got through it whenever I see her
I love Elizabeth Debicki's voice because it is so warm and gentle.
It is so so difficult to get Diana's mannerisms and her presence but Elizabeth manages both. I am stunned by how she managed to do this! Only she has managed this. Really a wonderful and triumphant performance from a intriguing show that holds your attention. Elizabeth is really a big deal and I hope all the awards are coming her way. There is nobody better.
Just started watching the Crown, Season 5 and this actress is impersonating Diana so well. The look, the manners, to the smallest detail.
The kindness and love with which she speaks of Diana… really beautiful
She's so respectful towards her. I love that ❤
Just finished season 5. If she doesn't win an award for her role i lose faith in Hollywood. She was breathtaking.
Totally breathtaking!
You can tell she’s sincere and respectful of Diana. Whoever casts for The Crown needs a raise! It is always so spot on
She was stunning. I was at Diana’s funeral in 1997, an amazing and sad experience
Debicki has clearly has done her research for the role. However, I would've liked if the costume designer was being interviewed instead, or even with Debicki as a pair, as they have they have the real knowledge and then can speak to the translation into the series.
Well it’s not like Elizabeth is pulling this speech out of her rear end. Someone researched and compiled it for her to read out.
@@davidw.2791 she's very thoughtful, though.
@@davidw.2791 or... she knows a lot herself
@@peepindis exactly
Which video is going to get clicked on? One with a relatively obscure costume designer or a movie star?
I didn't watch the show but how she immediately switched to the voice of Diana saying "I don't eat breakfast" (1:47) is very impressive!
”She was obviously good at hats." What an unexpectedly great compliment. Very few people in life are good at hats.
I didn’t know she has this low, soothing kind of voice. It’s very calming
Oh my god she did her research!!! She knows a lot of things that not everyone knows, im impressed!
Diana was just 6 years older than me. She set the fashion standard in the late 80s and 90s. I wore JC Penney versions of many of those outfits!
I met Elizabeth Debicki years ago at an event in Paris, I love her acting so much I couldn't resist going up to her and telling her. She was so gracious and I'm happy to see her in this role!
She's the reason why I started the Crown. I never thought that bringing Diana on screen with such conviction was possible.
The "I don't eat breakfast" part was 🤩
I"m not only excited for this new season, but more importantly, what Elizabeth Debicki will do next. She has such a magnetic personality to match her beauty.
Been following her work since Great Gatsby, this girl is truly underrated!
She was phenomenal as Diana. Her voice and her annunciations were spot on!!
I love the passion Elizabeth has for Diana - I hope the show does her justice.
Princess Diana was very pretty but she got more and more beautiful as she aged. They could fill an entire book with all of her beautiful looks! ❤
Diana was such a stunner without even trying. I could stare at her face all day.
Elizabeth absolutely blew my mind in portraying Princess Diana! Ms. Debicki is a great actress! A Very Beautiful Woman As Well!
of all the actresses who portrayed Princess Diana, Elizabeth Debicki is the best! The look, the facial expressions, and the way she speaks from season 5 of The Crown were very excellent. She deserves the Best Actress award! 🏆
I just learned that she was an INFP like me. It makes so much sense because I love wearing things that bring me joy. She certainly dresses for herself but needs to keep up her image. I love her :D
Those are süper rare
This is brilliant. It's been a quarter of a century and it never, ever, ever gets old looking at Princess Diana's photos. May she rest in peace.
Diana always looked fantastic, she is so missed and I think she did a great job portraying that ❤ her passion shows it
What this woman did on "The Crown" Season 5 was MINDBLOWING. Incredible acting. If this were a movie she should receive every Oscar's & awards of any kind.
After watching Elizabeth in The Crown I was amazed how she captured Diana’s mannerisms so beautifully, best portrayal I have seen yet.
I think if Harry or William were watching this, they'd be happy with Elizabeth portraying their mother. She's not robbing their mother of her magic to make money for Netflix, and you can thoroughly feel it. There's such sincerity emanating from her in this video, genuine love for Diana and her story, and for the boys as well. There's no one that could be more likable, even the Royals couldn't ask for more
Elizabeth is great but no they wouldn’t. They are furious about this and consider it exploitative, impudent and macabre. They have said as much.
@@spacecadet2172Harry didn’t say that. Maybe William did, since he stands to inherit the throne. But Harry said he knows it’s completely fiction and only hopes it ends before it gets to him.
I hope harry and wills get to see elizabeth portraying there beloved mother she got her spot on .
Right, they'd be so happy to see some strange woman portraying their mother. You are delusional.
The way you got into character in a split second at 1:47 was so good - thats acting skills right there!
I love her, she's an amazing actress I hope she can have more recognition
She's really a fan of Diana! Helps a lot with portrayal
you look very much like Diana
couldn't have found more perfect cast for Diana she played her so insanely well I was in tears and in awe the whole time
Her voice 💙
the crown hasn't even come out yet but I already love her diana
This was just amazing. Couldn't stop watching. Elizabeth was so thoughtful and elegant in how she spoke about each look. Loved it.
Can’t wait for the new series of The Crown. One of the best shows in recent years
If Diana had been so lucky to have a daughter, too, I think she would have closely resembled this woman, in looks and manners. ❤
Both Elizabeth & Emma Corrin portray Diana brilliantly. Both actresses deserve appreciation ❤
It is so lovely to hear an actor speak so movingly, tenderly, and insightfully about the person she is portraying. I have always been awed by this capacity of actors to turn their energy into a prism, a channeling of the person they are inhabiting. Elizabeth Debicki was the perfect choice--thank you!
She should lend her voice to audiobooks, it’s so calming and chill
I loved Diana's style when she grew into her Dior era Dior suited her so well. The way she cooled down the tones of her hair and got bolder with icy highlights was stunning with her Dior.
The casting for this show is amazing, and I love the respect that she shows for her. You can tell that she took showing Diana honor with her portrayal, seriously.
So far, every person they've casted as the late princess has been a smash hit but Elizabeth Debicki has done SUCH a phenomenal job portraying Princess Diana, it's astounding. Thank you for sharing this
Elizabeth is such a beautiful person inside and out!! You can hear it in the way she speaks of Diana just how much respect she has for her 🥹 As someone who has been obsessed with Elizabeth for quite some time now I must admit I was thrilled when I found out about her as Diana for The Crown because I knew straight away that if someone could be as good as Emma that would be her. Can’t wait to see her shine and receive all the ovation she deserves in season 5!! 🫶🏻
Hello how are you doing?
i have literally been in love with elizabeth debicki ever since i watched the great gatsby. so excited for her portrayal of princess diana for this season
There couldn't be a better person to go through her life in looks than Elizabeth. It was quite touching actually
Of all the videos and interviews I've seen with Princess Diana, this one, for some reason, made me cry. You did such a good job paying respect to these pivotal moments in her life. She should have lived a long, happy life :(
Princess Diana was so classy, especially with her choice of timepieces. Her bond with watches, the classic Cartier Tank - what an icon.
i don't usually comment but i've been obsessed with elizabeth debicki lately. she's not only a fantastic actress but also has such a captivating personality. this video is a treat! ❤
So very grateful that you would take the time to honour this delightful lady in this way. Both these women are extremely dynamic and inspiring. Thank you.
Wow that impression she did was so spot on!! I need to watch the crown. Princess Diana will forever be iconic. The true essence of elegance !!
What a beautiful tribute. There will never be another. Diana found a brief glimmer of light at the end and and it was snuffed out just like that. Imagine the good she would have done if she was still alive. I hope you all that bought the tabloid magazines think of that each and every single days of your lives.
All photographs were beautiful. She started to dress her way, as she became more confident. She looked beautiful in sport outfits, skate sets, as well as cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Love the black dress the day charles admit his adultery. She looked sexy no matter she had some pain inside her.
You are so elegant, well-spoken, and kind in your review of others. You are a princess yourself.
The kid at 4:55 is a spitting image of the young prince William! I got goosebumps! 🙃🙃🙃
The way she jumps in and out of character at 1:47 is simply wonderful
She is the best choice actress for the role of Lady D. No one else looks like her. Elizabeth Debicki has the same facial features, eyelids, and manner of speaking. She's like Diana's twin. I'm looking forward to this season!!!
Both actresses played Diana so beautifully in the Crown. I can nvr choose who was best honestly ! I am obsessed with you both ❣️😍
She brought Diana back to life for all of us! Thank you Elizabeth Debicki!
I love how she elegantly turns all the pages
I have never seen someone so effortlessly regal as elizabeth debicki!
Both ladies are so beautiful. Elizabeth pulls everything off with such grace and she does Princess Diana such justice. Beautiful.
Love seeing an actress in TV/film who's actually taller than me. As a 6'1" female it's extremely rare and makes me feel good!
Elizabeth was brilliant playing Dianna. I was mesmerized ❤
Elizabeth Debicki’s portrayal of Princess Diana was incredible. I can’t wait for the next season of The Crown.
