“The Crown” is back — and so is Princess Diana’s iconic fashion.

Season 5 of the hit Netflix drama premieres tomorrow, and along with all of the royally juicy drama, fans can look forward to some standout looks from Elizabeth Debicki as the late Princess of Wales — including her infamous “revenge dress.”

The latest installment of “The Crown” will chronicle the breakdown of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage in the 1990s, and the black Christina Stambolian frock Diana wore following the future king’s infidelity admissions will finally get its onscreen moment — though one royal expert isn’t fawning over the look.

“I think that their dress is beautiful, but it really doesn’t compare to the original, honestly,” royal expert and “To Di For Daily” founder Kinsey Schofield told Page Six Style, adding that “you can’t help but think back to Diana in the dress.”

“There’s something so iconic about the dress it almost feels like cosplay to see anyone else in it,” she said of the sexy off-the-shoulder mini.

However, the expert stressed how “important it was that they recreate it and tell that story, because all the sudden we realized how hurt she was [by Charles] and how she was reacting to the situation and how brilliant that was.”

The “revenge dress” is almost a character itself in the Charles and Diana saga, marking a moment when there’s a seismic shift in the late princess’ wardrobe.
