Naomi Watts’s Transformation into Princess Diana

Naomi Watts as Princess Diana in her latest movie

Prince George Alexander Louis has finally arrived and this fall, his late grandmother makes it to theaters, as embodied by Naomi Watts.The actress tackles the role of Princess Diana, in a drama that examines the last two years in the Princess of Wales' life. In Diana, opening in September, Watts transforms into the beloved royal to explore her campaign against land mines and delve into her relationships with surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews) and Dodi Fayed (Cas Anvar).

Over the last few months fans of Naomi Watts and Princess Diana alike have been given sneak peeks of how she will look in the upcoming movie biopic, Diana. The first film poster has now been released of the movie, showing the actress looking the spitting image of the princess on the new poster as anticipation mounts over its September release.

To ensure that she resembles the People’s Princess in both appearance and behavior, Watts reportedly spent six weeks working with a dialogue coach, studied Diana’s 1995 interview with Martin Bashir, and was fitted with a prosthetic nose and four wigs. Additionally, News Ltd reports that the actress wears several custom-made designer replicas of dresses worn by Diana as well as a few Jacques Azagury ensembles that belonged to the princess herself.

Here take a look at the pictures of Naomi Watts as she embodies the Late Princess Diana in her new movie -

The Smurfs 2 premiere was a family affair! The celebrities ensured that. 

Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka stepped out for the premiere of "Smurfs 2" in Los Angeles with their adorable twins, Harper and Gideon. The 2-year-olds giggled as they posed on the red carpet, flashing their best smiles for the camera to celebrate their dad's new animated flick. Harper wore a mini sequined dress and sandals while her brother sported shorts, a white-collared shirt and bow tie.

Britney Spears walked with her "Ooh La La" music video costars – her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston. She was dressed in a curve-hugging blue Herve Leger dress with black accents as she posed on the red carpet with her boys at her side. 

Katy played it fairly safe this weekend as she attended the premiere for The Smurfs 2. Katy, who did the voice of “Smurfette” in the film, wore a blue Tadashi Shoji dress that fell below the knee. The top of the frock had a lace top with matching floral embellishments. Held together by a thin belt, the bottom was made up of pleated leather. She attended the event with her grandma Ann Hudson

Jayma Mays joined her co-stars for the ‘Smurfs 2′ LA premiere in a selection of colors which really popped against the blue carpet wearing a fuchsia-pink short-sleeve top and orange A-line skirt from Paper London’s Spring 2013 collection. Eye-catching sexy satin open-toe booties amped up with an abstract floral print managed to upstage everything going on north of her ankles.

Late Anna Nicole Smith's 6-year-old daughter Dannielynn dolled herself up for the film in a grey chevron frock with blue and yellow accents, complete with a picture of her favourite smurfette on the centre. Her father Larry Birkhead dressed to match his daughter in a grey, yellow and blue T-shirt and jeans.
