Queen Elizabeth II, named as one of the most glamourous women by the British Vogue, is known for her sartorial taste. Her outfits have always been carefully selected in keeping with the fashion trends of the times. She always looks like elegance personified in her favourite coat dress sets, the hemlines of which have never crossed the decent length .

The Queen of England rarely steps out without a piece of jewellery as part of her ensemble. The jewellery pieces, sparkling with the finest diamonds or rubies, sapphires or emeralds, enhances the Queen’s regal look. Pearls have always been a firm favourite of Queen Elizabeth II as she wears these in the form of necklaces, brooches, bracelets and earrings. Meanwhile, she completes her head-turning style with fabulous hats.

Over the decades, the Queen has been dressed by several designers. Norman Hartnell worked for Elizabeth in the 1940s. Hardy Amies began designing clothes for the Queen in the early 1950s, while Ian Thomas and Maureen Rose also worked for her every now and then.

Between 1988 and 1996, her dresses were designed by John Anderson, the responsibility of which was then taken over by his business partner, Karl Ludwig Rehse. Stewart Parvin, the youngest of her designers, who was trained at Edinburgh College of Art, began designing the Queen’s dresses in 2000.

Angela Kelly is now the personal assistant and senior dresser of the Queen. She has been designing Elizabeth’s clothes since 2002. Kelly and her team try to use both old and new fabrics in their designs.
