On 6 February 1952, Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne at the age of 25 after the death of her father, George VI. The following year, her coronation was held at Westminster Abbey, officially queen Elizabeth II. On the occasion of our 96th birthday on April 21, let's review the classic photos of the Queen.
In June 1953, at the age of 27, Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne and became Queen of England and ruler of much of the free world.
Elizabeth II ascended the throne for more than 23,500 days, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee, Diamonds and Sapphires, becoming britain's longest reigning monarch.
During her 69 years in power, she used her wardrobe to convey the image of a stately world leader, and to this end she supported two costume designers: Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies , who designed Elizabeth II's coronation and wedding dress , while Amies was responsible for Her Majesty's daily wardrobe.
Over the years, the Queen's dress has been known for bright colors, pearl necklaces, white gloves, turbans, and plaid skirts. Her style was iconic, such as the Launer handbag, which was immediately recognized and became synonymous with her.
Since her youth, the Queen has never been a trend-follower. Instead, she uses only appropriate, timeless, practical trends in the ever-changing fashion world.
She's not a great wardrobe experimenter, but she's an iconic figure in the fashion world. "The Queen transcends fashion," Caroline de Guitaut, who curated the Queen's costume exhibition, once revealed, "but her clothes still reflect that."
The Queen, who has a keen interest in fashion, is adept at combining modern styling with elegance and royal requirements. The Queen has fascinated many with her eclectic but chameleon-like style.
She often chooses bright gem-colored tonal combinations to ensure that she always stands out from the crowd. Tweed, silk, suits, pencil skirts, are her best choices.
The grandmother, who lived in the same house for four generations, also had a soft spot for accessories. Brooches, pearl necklaces, who can forget her colorful hats? Her Majesty the Queen has even stirred up the Gucci horsebit shoes, which she often wears.
