The two women have distinctly similar tastes in fashion.
And the person she reminded me of?
The late Princess Diana.
In fact, it turns out a few people actually thought that Richardson and Princess Dianawere the same person.
Whatever your thoughts on this, its hard to deny that the resemblance between the two women is striking.
Then there were James outfits.
Oh, the outfits.
So chic, so elegant, so distinctly Diana.
Both women wore timeless pieces understated but elegant.
Did costume designer Penny Rose usethe princess as inspiration?
The Hair
Lets start with the hair.
Not Dianas youthful riff on the Farah Fawcett flicks, but the 90s post-divorce crop.
Natasha Richardsons haircut as Elizabeth James definitely gave a picture of the late princess asreference to her hair stylist.
Her hair is beyond chic, healthy and shiny, and frames her face to perfection, Bruhn says.
An important lesson can be learned here.
If you want to understand why, study a photo of her wearing this look.
But why is it that such seemingly simple style choices remain so chic and memorable?
The White Coat
Why does an unfitted oversized white jacket look amazing on both of these women?
Whatever the reason, Richardson and Diana carried it off with aplomb.
Diana had asimilar color paletteand shirt selection on a trip to Egypt with Prince Charles in 1992.
Each item […] can either look stunning or completely blah, Bruhn says.
The twist is that the simpler the garment, the more important the fabric and quality becomes.
Her shirt is pressed and her makeup is minimal, but gives her a natural glow, Bruhn says.
That is the secret to classic dressing.
You’ll kill it.
And kill it she does.
