Season four of "The Crown," which is available on Netflix, follows the royal family in the 1980s, including the marriage of Princess Diana (Emma Corrin) and Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor).
The latest season pays homage to many of Princess Diana's memorable fashion moments.
For example, Corrin wore a replica of Lady Di's bridal gown for the show's portrayal of the Prince and Princess of Wales' wedding in 1981.
Corrin resembled Princess Diana in outfits inspired by her royal tour in 1983 and other ensembles she was photographed wearing throughout the '80s.
The late Princess Diana is remembered in many ways — as a loving mother to her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry; a philanthropist; and an '80s and '90s style icon, whose fashion sense has transcended decades.
Season four of "The Crown," which is available on Netflix, follows the marriage of Princess Diana (Emma Corrin) and Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor), and scratches the surface of how a young Lady Diana Spencer would later become known as "The People's Princess."
The latest season of "The Crown" also shows the evolution of Princess Diana's style — from the pastel outfits she often wore in her younger years to her royal tour wardrobe and red-carpet gowns.
Here's how the show's producers, costume director, and hair and makeup designer replicated many of Princess Diana's memorable outfits.
