‘The Crown’: the scene of Lady Di’s iconic dress that has not convinced the fans

The fifth season of ‘The Crown’ is finally available and, like us, you should already grab your favorite blanket to enjoy this new installment of the charismatic British Royal Family in the Netflix adaptation, ‘The Crown’. This new season is focused on one of the worst moments for the familywith numerous divorces involved, great iconic moments, changes in English politics and even a great fire at Windsor Castle.

The episodes of this new installment include some of the most relevant and iconic scenes in the life of the European royal families. Two of the best examples include both the scandal of the ‘tamponate’ (or to understand us, the extramarital idyll between the then Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles), What ‘the dress of revenge‘ by Lady Di. The latter has not been able to convince his fans, who are asking for more recognition of this 👑 ‘real’ 👑 moment.

Chapter 5 of this new season of ‘The Crown’ (called ‘A step forward’), has one of the most impressive and expected moments by fans of television fiction. Thus, the so-called ‘vengeance dress’ (or ‘revenge dress‘ in English, which gives it greater drama), refers to to the Christina Stambolian brand dress that Princess Diana wore to a dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in 1994. This is one of the worst moments for Lady Di, who had just heard how her husband, Carlos, had confirmed his affair with Camilla (in a television program: ‘Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role’). Very little ‘royal’ on her part!

Thus, with the arrival of Lady Di with that fabulous and sexy dress, with bare shoulders, which revealed her toned legs, the princess herself wanted to send a clear message: look what you’ve been missing! Or so explained her stylist, Anna Harvey, in an interview for ‘Vogue’, in which she explained that ‘she wanted to look like a million bucks…and she did‘.

Fans ask for more relevance to the revenge dress

Many of the most staunch fans of the series have not hesitated to criticize this ‘oversight’ of the blockbuster, who make them see that they have missed a great opportunity with the dress scene. In it, according to the fans, Diana (in the new cast under the skin of Elizabeth Debicki) loses all importance at that hard moment in front of the other members of the British Royal Family reacting to the interview of the then Prince Charles. Wasn’t Diana the most affected? 🤔

Fans have taken advantage of the platform, Twitter, to weigh in on their impression of the iconic dress. All of them do not hesitate to complain about the lack of iconicity of the moment:

The revenge dress scene in The Crown? As disappointing as the wedding.

I was expecting more from the #TheCrownNetflix “Vengeance Dress” episode.

They left me in duty with the revenge dress in the crown I thought we were going to see more of that.

The new ‘Princess Diana’ and the pressure with the dress of revenge

Elizabeth Debicki, who puts herself in the shoes of Princess Diana, has assured that the scene with ‘the dress of revenge’ was very stressful (as if not to be) and the costume fittings were very long, since it was a highly complex dress. Likewise, she affirmed for ‘Vogue UK’ that it was not until everyone around her began to ask her about the dress, that she realized the importance of the scene that she was going to star in.

In the same way, the actress (who bears a great resemblance to Princess Diana) did not hesitate to wonder about the meaning and meaning of the dress itself at that time: “why this dress? She had had it for two or three years. It was very risky“.

Now, why was this dress so iconic? Well, for a simple reason: it was time to break with everything. She broke royal protocol by showing off her legs, shoulders, and cleavage. ohWhat a bravery of Lady Di and what a lesson in STYLE! 😍
