Today, November 9, the long-awaited premiere of the fifth season of the TV series “The Crown” will take place. Which means we’ll finally see Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, plunge into the world of royal intrigue, and learn a little more about the events of the 1990s. But that’s not all. In the fifth season, we will be shown the “revenge dress” that has become history forever.
Don’t you understand what it’s about? We will gladly remind you. In June 1994, Princess Diana appeared at a reception at the Serpentine Gallery in a little black Christina Stambolian gown, later known as the “revenge dress”.
She was originally supposed to appear in Valentino, but changed her mind at the last moment, because that evening there was a scandalous program about the romance of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles. They say Lady Dee wants to “look like a million bucks”. And he definitely succeeded.

But if you just think that Lady Dee is a “revenge dress,” we will object. After the release of Diana, many Hollywood actors and singers began to resort to this technique. We are talking about six deadly images in which the stars make loud statements.
Mariah Carey
In 1997, Mariah Carey divorced her first husband, producer Tommy Motolla, and got her long-awaited freedom, as they say. According to the singer, her chosen one from the very beginning of the relationship controlled her every exit and did not allow her to deviate from her stage image. So in 1997, Carey decided to start with a clean slate and appeared at the MTV VMAs in an open skirt with a slit in the thigh and a microscopic top.

Even if you’re still young in 1998, Charmed star Rose McGowan’s appearance at the MTV VMAs will remain in your memory. And all because it was shocking at the highest level. The actress later met with Marilyn Manson and chose a “naked” chain dress for the event. Then everyone decided that it was just a trick to live up to his friend’s reputation. But it turns out that the “rebus” is not so simple. Just 20 years later, McGowan said this outfit was a response to the horrific events of 1997, when Harvey Weinstein raped her.
Nicole Kidman
They say that divorce is sad and sad. But not for Nicole Kidman. In 2001, paparazzi photos circulated around the world when the cheerful actress left the courthouse following the conclusion of her divorce with Tom Cruise. And the day before, her famous appearance in a “revenge dress” took place at the premiere of the movie “The Others”. The actress chose a black mini with a corset top and pumps with a pointed cape.
Jennifer aniston
Bye bye Brad Pitt! – As if implied as such by Jennifer Aniston in October 2005. Then the divorce proceedings were just completed, but this did not prevent the actress from shining brighter than anyone else in a golden Chanel dress at the premiere of the movie “The Price of Treason”. It’s a very symbolic name, isn’t it?
rihanna
Speaking to French Vogue in 2017, Rihanna said, “When a man mistreats you or cheats on you, you need a “revenge dress.” Rumor has it that the singer’s “naked” outfit (embellished with Swarovski stones) at the 2014 Council of Fashion Designers Awards fell into this category. Then many people claimed that Rihanna wore a see-through dress to let Drake know who she had lost.Recall that in the early 2010s, Riri was in a relationship with a rapper, although no one has confirmed this information.
Jennifer Garner
This Versace gown by Jennifer Garner is somewhat reminiscent of Princess Diana’s own “revenge dress.” In 2016, the actress wore it on the Oscars red carpet amid her divorce from Ben Affleck. And the effect was devastating. That year, the image of Jennifer Garner was searched more on Google than any other guest of the ceremony.
