As a head of state, Queen Elizabeth’s style was often a means of discreet communication. Many times, her very outfit was a diplomatic move. She is known for her staple wardrobe pieces, like her pearl necklaces, monochromatic suits, and fine millinery. In fact, she wore her famous monochromatic outfits from nearly the beginning as a way to stand out in crowds, and that she did.
She is known to have had three prominent dressers in her lifetime, Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies in her early years, and Angela Kelly being her senior dresser in her later years.
Hamish Bowles, a Brit himself and Vogue’s Global Editor at large, remarks that “so much of the Queen’s wardrobe… perhaps all of it, is in a way considered a uniform”
Here are some staples and inspiration so you too can evoke the Queen’s elegance through theme, and see what pieces may become part of your uniform - or maybe just a secret day of dress-up.
