30 years after her death, Princess Diana continues to inspire fashion.
This is the crazy theory that has been shaking up fashion for several years. On social networks, observant fashionistas happily make the link between a rising celebrity of the 7th Art and the beloved Princess of Hearts. What do they have in common? Their way of dressing. Because this thirty-year-old actor has, time and again, worn outfits that look exactly like those worn by Lady Diana. If he has not (yet) tried princess outfits, diamond crowns and other gala dresses, he embodies a casual chic, effortlessly preppy and resolutely streetwear style which is reminiscent of that of Diana Spencer.
The most similar outfit, which certainly earns him comparisons to the royal trend-setter? A sweatshirt combined with cycling shorts, sneakers, proudly pulled-up socks and a designer bag to break up the casual side. He wore it in 2020, in 2023 and many other times. A stylistic combo that the Princess of Wales often wore in the 90s, during her outings and various strolls.
This male celebrity, whom Internet users describe as “male reincarnation of Lady Di’s style” or even “Princess Diana of our generation”, is none other than Jacob Elordi.
Silhouettes by Lord Elordi, inspired by those of Lady Di, have been one after the other since 2020. Another outfit that echoes Diana? The one worn in April 2023, during the brand’s 60th anniversary evening TAG Heuer. His navy blue suit jacket with white piping by Valentinolooked exactly like a suit worn by William and Harry’s mother 21 years earlier.
But that’s not over: the Australian is also a fan of the scarf tied around his neck and the preppy style Varsity jacket, just like Lady Di. A fashion heritage that Jacob Elordi continues to bring to life, with a stylistic twist all his own.
When Diana wears the “Philadelphia Eagles” Varsity jacket in a bright green color; on the set of Jimmy Fallon, the 28-year-old actor opts for a more neutral shade. The debates are open.
