Queen Elizabeth with Princess Margaret
As a young princess who came of age during World War II, Queen Elizabeth II’s style has often reflected the state of the nation. Her wedding gown by Norman Hartnell was made of duchesse satin, purchased with ration vouchers like other brides at the time, and the Queen continues to discreetly communicate with choice of colour or an emblematic piece of storied jewelery. Her wardrobe has evolved to embrace the changing landscape, while still observing an unwavering commitment to personal preference.
