Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion moments A lesson in style and feminine strength
Her hats, bejewelled mini bags, brooch, love for bold colours and sensible shoes will always remain fresh in our minds. Queen Elizabeth II left behind the style legacy of one who totally resisted trends but always made a style statement. Yes, she might not have had the allure of a Hollywood star, but Her Majesty’s style legacy is a lesson in unwavering integrity of identity. Throughout her reign, her fashion choices always needed to be more diplomatic and significant in message. The right colour and style had to be picked. For every outing, she never failed to make a statement. She once said she “had to be seen to be believed,” hence her penchant for bright colours that stood her out in a crowd.
Brooches, dress suits, brimmed hats, patent pumps and top-handle handbags are the pieces that made up Her on-duty wardrobe. A dedicated Monarch who always placed service first, it made sense that she treated her approach to dressing with such regimented formula. At this point, it must be noted how traditionally feminine her outfits were, clearly buttressing that the message she was sent to the commonwealth and the wider world was one of feminine strength.
