With her blonde hair perfectly styled into Diana’s signature hairdo, Emma wore a champagne dress with gold detailing – a replica of the Victor Edelstein gown she once wore to a charity gala in 1989.
The event was held in her honour at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
Emma’s outfit looked almost identical to the Princess of Wales’ with a corset design and satin skirt.
The star appeared in high spirits as she waved to fans in between takes.

The team have been working tirelessness ahead of the upcoming series, with Emma previously spotted filming scenes in Malaga back in October.
The TV star was pictured on set wearing a replica of Diana’s bright pink polka-dot dress, which she wore during her 1983 tour of Australia.
Emma was cast as Diana in the Netflix series after showrunners were left “captivated” by her audition.
The Crown’screator, Peter Morgan, said of the actress: “Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part ofDiana Spencer.

“As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation.”
Emma added: “Beyond excited and honoured to be joining The Crown for its fourth season.
“I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think Im 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 Morgans writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!”
Season three saw Oscar-winner Olivia Colman taking over Claire Foy’s role of Queen Elizabeth and Tobias Menzies replacing Matt Smith as Prince Phillip.
