Sure, we were sold at Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, but this brand-new detail about A Simple Favor will make Princess Diana fans want to purchase a ticket for the midnight showing.
In a recent interview with People, the film’s costume designer, Renée Ehrlich Kalfus, revealed that Emily’s (Lively) engagement ring was inspired by the late princess’s iconic oval sapphire, which is now worn by Kate Middleton.
“It’s a take on Princess Diana’s ring,” she said. “I wanted to do something vintage, but the director [Paul Feig] thought it should be more on the nose.”
Although she’s anything but traditional, Kalfus admitted that the ring represents the character’s personality, adding, “She doesn’t care about fitting in. She had her own agenda.”
