See how The Crown portrayed Princess Diana's fashion vs the real deal

Let's be honest. We're all very excited to see The Crown tackle Princess Diana fashion looks.

Season 4 of the show has finally aired on Netflix, and everyone is understandably very excited, as it's the first to give us a glimpse at her marriage to Prince Charles (though it looks like they've cut this very important storyline).

It covers every detail from what Prince Charles told Princess Diana the night before the wedding to her fight with bulimia and her struggles to adapt to the royal protocol.

The show is known for its attention to detail, and that certainly applies to The Crown Princess Diana fashion moments, which have been faithfully recreated, though sometimes with a small twist.

For example The Crown changed this detail on Princess Diana's wedding dress when they recreated it.

But as you'll see from the pictures below, Emma Corrin's looks in the show are near identical to some of Princess Diana's most iconic looks.

These include some of her earlier looks, such as the blue suit she wore for her engagement picture, and yellow dungarees she wore to watch Prince Charles play polo.

Of course we will see plenty of glamourous red carpet looks too, like the floaty blue dress Princess Diana to dance with Prince Charles on the couple's 1983 tour of Australia, as well as the strapless ballgown she accessorised with a neck scarf (though on the show the dress is purple, rather than the original sky blue).

We also see Princess Diana's love of colourful outfits, which she particularly loved wearing to visit sick children in hospital to try and cheer them up.

Bold outfits worn by Emma Corrin include a floral one-shoulder gown, houndstooth power suit and hot pink checkered trousers with matching jumper.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
