A Swedish model has suffered furious backlash for wearing a "disrespectful" Diana costume on Halloween.
Elsa Hock, 35, shared a series of photos on her Instagram of her dressed as the late Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997 at age 36.
Elsa wore Diana's infamous "Revenge Dress", which she wore the night Prince Charles admitted to his affair with Camilla.
The model's photoshoot, which she shared with her 8.7 million followers and replicated photos of Diana, was taken against a similar backdrop as she copied her walk.

The Swedish model wore a short blonde wig, pointy black heels, and a bracelet worn by the Late Princess.
She captioned the posts "Wishing you an ICONIC Halloween" and "The people's princess".
Many fans flooded the comments section, taking offence to the outfit.
One wrote: "Princess Diana is not for Halloween."
Another said: "This is insulting. Go find a scary outfit instead of a lovely woman who never scared anyone and... was a victim, sorry Diana, RIP."
On the controversial post, fans criticised the model for her lack of respect for the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex, who were both children when their mother died.
One fan said: "I would not be okay with someone dressing up as my late mother. Imagine how Harry and William would feel."
Another user wrote: "Such poor taste. Her poor sons and family seeing this they must be horrified."
Prince William recently recalled his childhood memories with his mother in his two-part documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness.
Princess Diana, who was passionate about helping people experiencing homelessness, took William, aged 11, and Prince Harry to their first shelter visit in December 1993.

Some fans supported the model's decision to dress up in the iconic look of Princess Diana.
One said: "I really don't understand all the objections... I think she is brilliant because she is the first one in decades that thought to make a costume as Princess Diana it's something new and creative, and she absolutely slayed with showing Diana's personality and movements."
Another wrote: "Diana probably would have loved this! She was famous for being a good sport. It's a beautiful and flattering imitation."
