In her first major screen part, Emma Corrin looked beguiling in a number of ethereal dresses as Princess Diana in Netflix's The Crown.

However, the wardrobe for her latest role could not be more different. Dressed in a bright-red shorts and hoodie combination, the actress looked more like a Liverpool footballer than a member of the Royal Family.

The 26-year-old has been filming in New York for a six-part TV murder mystery series, called Retreat, in which she plays an amateur sleuth called Darby Hart – dubbed a Miss Marple for Generation Z.

Her blonde hair has been dyed pink and on one of her legs, above football-boot-style trainers, is a tattoo of a woman in floral pantaloons.

While the eye-catching outfit is not her own, in real life Corrin is increasingly eclipsing fellow actress Helena Bonham Carter as the wackiest fashionista in showbusiness. 

For more than two decades, 55-year-old Bonham Carter has been talked about for her kooky clothes choices. Perhaps Corrin picked up tips from her while the two women were on set for The Crown, in which Bonham Carter played Princess Margaret.

Last Monday, Corrin made a stunning appearance at the uber-smart Met Gala Ball in New York wearing a plaid Miu Miu coat with a black waistcoat and shorts over white tights.
