Wife of pop singer Justin, the 22-year-old shared a series of shots that evoked memories of the late Princess of Wales’ casual look.
I woke up to tens of thousands of requests for my opinion on Hailey B doing Diana cosplay for Paris Vogue…..
I think it’s terrific
My only critiques:
the logos should have been weird references to Hailey’s rich inner life
Diana wore chunkier sneakers (by Mizuno)
Otherwise 👏 pic.twitter.com/gQASurw7sW— rachel seville tashjian (@theprophetpizza) August 29, 2019
Fans were quick to draw comparisons between the composition, pose, tone and of course, attire with some of the most iconic images of Lady Di as she shared several sneak-peeks on her Instagram page.

Princess Diana will be in our thoughts again when Netflix drama The Crown returns for a third season.
Emma Corrin will play the late Princess of Wales and is “beyond excited and honoured” to portray her.
“I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring.
To be given the chance to explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice,” Corrin said at the time of her role being cast.
