Queen Elizabeth’s style was modest, functional, elegant and formal in the same way she ruled the Commonwealth. We took a look at her style through the years. She will truly be missed! QueenElizabethII
Queen Elizabeth was a practical dresser that dressed up for the occasion when the occasion called for it. Seen here with Lt. Phillip Mountbatten before she was officially the queen, she wears pearls, a drab-colored dress with stylish sleeves and peekaboo heels.
Later, as she took on her more duties, attended royal events and met leaders of the world, she dressed up for the occasion. Her gowns and skirts were usually A-line and she always wore gloves. She doesn’t look so comfortable in her own skin. But she fulfilled her duty. Queen Elizabeth looks wonderful in this beautiful cobalt blue gown, but you can see the stark differences between her and First Lady Jackie Kennedy, who was the epitome of high style in 1961.
Jackie Kennedy she wasn’t, but there were always those times when the Queen would throw us all off with her interesting use of patterns. She would wear a leopard print scarf over a camel coat or a polka dot dress against a sea of suits. Queen Elizabeth with Nancy Reagan in 1983Her hats and turbans and jewelry and handbags spoke for themselves. But above all, they were elegant and practical.
Queen Elizabeth always understood the significance of her duty and so later in the life, she began dressing for it. Patterned dresses of the decade were replaced with wool coats and matching hats and skirts in bright, bold colors because she claimed it was important to others to see her in the crowd. Queen Elizabeth attended her first fashion show in 2018, dressed in her classic uniform, a snappy Angela Kelly suit.
