Still searching for a costume idea worthy of a royal entrance? Take a cue from Elsa Hosk, whose Halloween look last year crowned her Sweden’s very own People’s Princess

Revenge, as it turns out, is a dish best served in a black mini dress – a sartorial adage made famous by Lady Diana Spencer in 1994. For Halloween 2024, Elsa Hosk seemed to agree, channeling Princess Di's iconic look (and eerily accurate mannerisms) for Halloween.

In a look that made us do a double-take, Elsa Hosk recreated Lady Di’s ‘revenge dress’ – that look worn to the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens after King Charles’ televised confession of adultery. From the perfect pearl choker to Diana’s signature downturned gaze, the Swedish beauty looked positively royal.

Not one to go all-out for Halloween (she’s only posted three costumes to her Instagram over the years, by our count), Hosk broke her streak in a big way – wishing followers an “ICONIC Halloween” while delivering the most talked-about costume of the season.
