Elizabeth II and her colorful outfits will always be remembered. The Queen has left several outfits that will go down in history, and there was a reason behind the choice of such striking colors. The monarch always dressed in bright colors to attract attention and be seen in the crowd, so it was not a random decision. We rate the outfits most iconic left by Queen Elizabeth II.
On Nov. 20, 1947, Elizabeth II and Philip of Greece said ‘yes, I will’ at Westminster Abbey. The silent princess wore a dress with marked shoulders, a sweetheart neckline and tight sleeves, signed by Norman Hartnell. Making the spectacular wedding dress took several weeks of work and several seamstresses were part of the process. The suit was embroidered with 10,000 pearls and set with glass and sequins that formed floral motifs inspired by Botticelli’s ‘La Primavera’.
It was in the month of May 1961 when Elizabeth II first set foot in the Vatican. The monarch visited Pope John XXIII and for the occasion chose an outfit that did not go unnoticed. Elizabeth II wore a all black to which we were not accustomed, a long dress in jacquard fabric, long gloves and a handbag. An ensemble she completed with her grandmother’s pearl necklace and Queen Alexandra’s diamond tiara, from which a matching mantilla fell.
The coronation of Elizabeth II as queen, she took her seat and relied on the same designer who made her wedding dress, Norman Hartnell. For such a special day she wore a white silk dress embroidered with the floral emblems of the Commonwealth countries, which she covered with a velvet cape and accompanied by the crown of Saint Edward, the official crown of England, although in the first moments . at the coronation she wore a diamond diadem. The Queen chose Roger Vivier gold leather sandals with a fleur de lis on the instep, a ruby-studded heel and an inner platform to reduce the arch of the foot. A carefully thought-out look to leave nothing to chance on such an important day for the United Kingdom.
This is how we saw Queen Elizabeth in the dinner ahead of his grandson William’s wedding to Kate Middleton. She chose a blue dress with gold embroidery to match the bolo and shoes.
Isabel was a great lover of nature and animals. His passion for corgi puppies and his horses is well known. It was common to see her enjoying the outdoors dressed in her scarf, her boots and comfortable hiking clothes.
In June 1961, John F. Kennedy visited the British Royal Family and the dress worn by the Queen at the meeting became one of the major protagonists of the event. A princess blue design that she wore with numerous jewels from her extensive collection.
The Queen had accustomed us to her monochromatic appearance, especially in her final years of reign. The reason is none other than avoid going unnoticed in the crowdso that she could be observed by everyone at every official act she attended.
