Emma Corrin, who portrayed Princess Diana in Netflix's "The Crown," arrived in Venice for the annual Film Festival sporting an outfit that echoed the style of the late royal. Corrin, 30, was seen in a chic, all-white Celine ensemble, complemented by a large black handbag and a baseball cap.
This fashion choice is a nod to a distinctive look Princess Diana wore in 1989, which also featured a baseball cap paired with casual attire. The festival, which runs through the following Saturday, will announce its awards at its conclusion. The opening film was Danny Boyle's "Ink," based on the early years of Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of The Sun newspaper.
Other notable figures attending the Venice Film Festival include George Clooney, who will receive a lifetime achievement award. Stars such as Noel and Liam Gallagher, Rooney Mara, Robert Pattinson, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Pamela Anderson, Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich, Louis Garrel, Cho Yeo-jeong, and Ellen Burstyn are also expected. Ellen Burstyn is also slated to receive a lifetime achievement award.
Among the anticipated awards is for Martin McDonagh's dark comedy "Wild Horse Nine," starring Rockwell and Malkovich as CIA agents preceding the 1973 Chilean coup. Corrin, known for their portrayal of the late Princess of Wales, relocated to Margate from London in 2023 and has become integrated into the local life, frequenting establishments like Curve Coffee and High Dive.
Corrin has spoken about their enjoyment of Margate's local dining scene, preferring it to nights out in London due to the proximity of restaurants and bars.
