Looks like Emma Corrin is fitting into her role as Princess Diana perfectly.
The actress, who will play the late princess for the fourth season ofThe Crown, was recently photographed filming a scene in Manchester, England, which was transformed to look like New York City to recreate what is believed to be the royal’s 1989 trip to the Big Apple.
Corrin, 24, was dressed in a colorful houndstooth suit (one of Diana’s favorite go-to patterns) and white pumps, perfectly channeling the princess’ beautiful blonde bob. The actress also wore a black puffer over her ensemble to fight the February chill.
According to theManchester Evening News, Stevenson Square in Manchester was where New York City was recreated, featuring the city’s iconic yellow cabs, steam rising from pipes on the streets, NYPD officers sporting black leather jackets and New York license plates. Corrin was also photographed in a limousine and walking down Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
