Princess Diana is remembered for her many legendary outfits (the revenge dress! the black sheep sweater! the crewneck-biker shorts combo!), but its her vacation style that takes center stage in Season 6 of The Crown. The first part of the series follows the late Princess of Wales's vacations aboard Mohamed Al Fayed's yacht, Jonikal, in the Mediterranean Sea from July to August 1997, and many of her iconic swimsuits were recreated to look just like the original ones she wore. Ahead, a look at The Crown's versions of Princess Diana's iconic vacation outfits—and how to get the style yourself for all your upcoming winter travels.

Red Shift Dress

Elizabeth Debicki's Diana kicks off the getaway in St. Tropez with a red belted shift dress. Make like Princess Di and pair the timeless number with a white purse (her handbag of choice was the Lady Dior Bag, obviously) and matching ballet flats. The perfect dinner attire if we do say so ourselves.

Abstract Swimsuit

When it came to swimwear, Princess Diana had a penchant for one-pieces in neon colors. Give the look a go with an abstract ombre maillot and oval-shaped sunglasses, also very much in trend.
