Kristen Stewart looks unreal in new glimpse at her transformation into Princess Diana

Kristen Stewart looks incredible in a new picture from her upcoming film about the life of Princess Diana.

The actress is going to play the late royal in the film Spencer which focuses a weekend she spends with the royal family at Sandringham before deciding to divorce husband Prince Charles.

In a new promotional picture K-Stew looks hauntingly like the princess, who died in 1997, as she gazes into the camera with one hand resting gently on her chin.

With her hair blonde and styled into wavy layers much like Diana’s signature look, she also sports a white, high-necked top and a tartan coat which she was previously spotted wearing on set.

The outfit is modelled on a similar garment worn by Princess Diana during a visit to Portsmouth in January 1989.

The black cuffs and lapel were the same as the royal’s, and the look was teamed with a black pencil skirt.

It is the latest look at the Twilight actress in the role, recently portrayed by Emma Corrin in Netflix hit The Crown, after she was pictured wearing a red jacket and black veil, effortlessly pulling off Princess Diana’s iconic head tilting gesture.

The actress said of the role: ‘Spencer is a dive inside an emotional imagining of who Diana was at a pivotal point in her life.

‘It is a physical assertion of the sum of her parts, which starts with her given name; Spencer. It is a harrowing effort for her to return to herself, as Diana strives to hold onto what the name Spencer means to her.’

The press release for Spencer reads: ‘December, 1991: The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate.

‘There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. This year, things will be a whole lot different.’

The drama also stars Timothy Spall, Sally Hawkins and Sean Harris.
