Admire the official portrait of the Queen of England in evening gowns. Elizabeth II wore countless brocade dresses throughout her life, and in order to match her status as crown prince and queen, as the head of state, her dress style has always been conservative and dignified. This is the official portrait of Elizabeth from 1951, and the dress was designed by the Queen's royal designer, Norman Hatnell. This dress is made mainly of silk, gold thread and pearls, with few but delicate decorations, and delicate embroidery patterns inlaid with pearls. Elizabeth wore it to the Clarence Palace to take an official portrait of herself.
