- Kristen Stewart will play the late Princess Diana in the new movie "Spencer."
- The movie, which is to be directed by Pablo Larraín, will start filming in 2021 and will be based on the princess' split from Prince Charles, according to Deadline.
- There has been mixed opinion from fans online on whether the "Twilight" actress is the right fit for the role.
- However, a side-by-side comparison of both ladies shows they are actually pretty alike — at least in terms of style.
- Here are 10 photos of Stewart channeling Diana over the years.
The "Twilight" actress channeled Diana's iconic "Revenge dress" at the Met Gala in 2010. Diana wore the off-the-shoulder number to a 1994 Vanity Fair party on the same night that Prince Charles spoke about their split in a TV documentary.

Stewart wore this black and blue mini dress on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 2011, and it was reminiscent of a Bruce Oldfield dress once worn by Diana in Venice.

Both ladies have been known to rock a co-ord, with Stewart going for a slightly more daring look during an appearance in Paris last year.

Stewart wore a black suit jacket and skirt by Stella McCartney to a screening of "Snow White and the Huntsman" in 2011. It bore a striking resemblance to this outfit worn by Diana during her visit to The Royal Geographical Society in London in 1997.

Stewart channeled Diana's Emanuel ball gown with a similar evening dress. However, the actress modernized the look by opting for a mermaid-style gown, while Diana's resembled a prom dress.

Diana had a casual side to her too, and she demonstrated this with a loose shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap in this photo. Stewart emulated the look at a film festival in Spain.

Stewart stepped things up a notch with this glitzy evening gown at the Venice Film Festival in 2019, which looks like a sequinned version of a Catherine Walker dress Diana once wore to a Christmas concert.

The ladies' hairstyles are also similar. While Stewart has diverted between her long brunette locks and a short blonde bob over the years, she looks most like the princess while styling her hair in the latter.

Diana had been pictured in numerous gray blazers and coats throughout her time in the spotlight, and Stewart appeared to be inspired by this look at a photo call for "Charlie's Angels."
