The Queen of Style
The Queen’s style has often reflected the state of the nation, and you could say she is one of the most influential women the fashion industry has seen.
The Queen discreetly communicates through her outfits, from a diplomatic colour choice to a piece of jewellery carefully selected for the history attached. Over her seven decades of royal reign, she has become the Queen of colour blocking, with her vibrant coloured coats and matching hats.
To celebrate her Platinum Jubilee we have we have rounded up our favourite ensembles of the British monarch’s style!
