The streaming giant’s official social media accounts for the show shared a snapshot of Emma Corrin on the set of the original series, depicting the actress in character as the late British royal.

Corrin, 24, stands demurely with her hands clasped while she looks off into the distance in a gown that looks almost like an exact replica of what Princess Diana wore at her July 29, 1981, wedding.

“A first glimpse of Princess Diana’s wedding dress. Emmy award-winning costume designer Amy Roberts wanted to capture the same spirit and style of David & Elizabeth Emanuel’s original design, without creating a replica for Emma Corrin.”

Fans gushed over the image, flooding the comments sections with emojis.

“Beautifully done,” one wrote of the gown.

“That’s so fabulous,” another said.

“Perfection,” one simply wrote.

Netflix shared a trailer in late August forThe Crown’s fourth season, which provided a brief sneak peek of the iconic gown from the rear – proving it stayed true to the incredibly long train Princess Diana’s wedding dress actually featured.

In 1981, Princess Diana made headlines for her ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown that included a 7.6m train. Her tulle veil was also extraordinarily long at 140m.

Welsh fashion designer David Emanuel, 67, created Princess Diana’s original gown. For this pivotal recreation, Emanuel provided Netflix’s costume designer the patterns to make a close replica, Corrin told British Vogue last month.

“We were filming the scene when you first see her in the wedding dress – I think it was Lancaster House in London – and I had a team of about 10 people helping me put it on, because it’s massive,” Corrin said in her interview with the fashion publication.

“I walked out and everyone went completely silent. More than anything else I wear in the series, it’s so … It’s her.”

Season four will premiere on Netflix on November 15. Seasons one to three are currently streaming on the service.
