Style Icon

The Queen's signature style has evolved over the decades and is instantly recognisable. She favours blocks of strong colour; her flamboyant fuchsias, vibrant purples, daffodil yellows and jewel-like jades and turquoises ensure that she is instantly recognisable in a crowd.

The Queen's accessories are iconic; her exquisitely detailed hats always match her clothes, her boxy handbag is a timeless design, and her jewellery - from the three strands of pearls she favours, to her huge range of diamond brooches, is carefully selected.

Above all, the Queen never loses sight of the fact she is a human symbol. Her clothes are chosen to convey a number of messages - respect for her hosts, visual impact for her crowds, acknowledgment of national sovereignty and customs.
