Exhausted, you finally settle into bed, drifting off when suddenly your body feels like it’s “falling,” and you jolt awake. This sudden, involuntary movement, known as a hypnic jerk, can be startling. You might find yourself wondering why it happens, and you’re not alone—up to 70% of people experience this. Despite its common occurrence, it never feels any less abrupt. While the exact cause remains uncertain, one theory suggests that hypnic jerks occur due to the nervous system’s transition as the body relaxes into sleep. Another theory links it to the natural downshifting of the nervous system during the sleep cycle.
To complete the transformation, Hosk added Diana-inspired details: sheer black tights, classic black heels, and a choker with a prominent jewel, capturing the late royal’s daring yet sophisticated style.

She even styled her blonde hair in a layered, chin-length cut, bringing Diana’s 90s era to life. Posting on Instagram, Hosk wrote, “Wishing you an ICONIC Halloween🖤.”

The 35-year-old model also shared a video of herself walking and tilting her head mimicking Diana’s grace and poise, captioned simply, “The people’s princess 👑.”
The costume, however, quickly divided her followers. “Beautiful but unethical towards Diana 😔,” one user remarked. Another echoed the sentiment, “This IS Just direspectful ! Shame on you [sic].”
For some, the idea of dressing as Diana for Halloween felt unsettling. “A bit creepy though. I mean draw inspiration yes, dress up as Diana look alike no [sic]!” wrote a concerned fan.
Another suggested an alternative, “Dear Elsa, you look wonderful. But Princess Diana is not for Halloween. The point of Halloween is to dress scary. You could have been Camilla instead.”

Others, however, were struck by how closely Hosk resembled the late Princess. “I thought It was Diana 😮 [sic],” shared one surprised fan.
Another marveled, “Wooowwww you look just like her,” while a particularly impressed commenter raved, “i almost thought Princess Diana come back to life 🔥🔥🔥🔥[sic].” One fan noted one of Diana’s mannerisms, “Omggg! you even nailed the way she would have her head tilted down 🥺.”
