That’s Kristen Stewart, playing Princess Diana in the upcoming movie Spencer. Rather than a typical biopic, the film focuses on just one weekend in Diana’s life; according to the press release it’s set during the time of a “Christmas holiday with the royal family at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk” when she finally “decides to leave her marriage to Prince Charles.”

The film just began production and revealed this photo of Stewart in the role as the iconic princess. Stewart herself described the movie as “a dive inside an emotional imagining of who Diana was at a pivotal turning point in her life.” It’s directed by Pablo Larrain, whose biography of Jacqueline Kennedy, Jackie (starring Natalie Portman in the title role) came out in 2016 and garnered multiple Academy Award nominations.

Here’s the full image of Stewart in the role:
