Elizabeth Debicki recreates Princess Diana's timeless Vogue cover for Radio Times
Elizabeth Debicki, renowned for her role in The Crown, pays tribute to Princess Diana in a recent cover shoot for Radio Times. The 33-year-old star, who portrays the late princess in the upcoming sixth season of The Crown, recreated Diana's iconic 1991 Vogue cover.
In the image, Debicki captures Diana's essence, donning a black turtleneck sweater reminiscent of the classic cover, along with a short, choppy blonde wig and similar makeup.
Debicki's portrayal of Princess Diana in her final days has garnered attention for its «uncanny empathy,» according to Andrew Morton, the author of Diana's 1992 biography. Morton, who collaborated closely with Diana on the book, commended Debicki for capturing the complexities of Diana's life—a woman navigating personal challenges amid public scrutiny.
The actress's final appearance in the role follows her Emmy-nominated performance in the fifth season.
The upcoming season is set to portray Diana's last days before her tragic death in a car crash on August 31, 1997.
Speaking about her experience playing Princess Diana, Debicki shared insights at The Crown's premiere, expressing that she «learned a lot» about the character. She emphasized Diana's sense of humor, resilience, and progressive use of her voice during challenging times.
