👒 Matching hat

💎 Brooch
👜 Top-handle handbag

👗 In her steadfast dedication to this singular way of dressing, the Queen has not only made herself into a figure who would be recognisable to millions from a mile off...
She’s probably made her job easier - with little room for manoeuvre, there’s little room for error

✅ Her Majesty has found a comfort zone.
The style works for her both practically and with an eye on what would be dependable for years to come, transcending the whims of the catwalk

🛍️The Queen has become a trendsetter in her own right - designers from top houses, including Gucci and Chanel, have been inspired by the look that is all her own.
Careful attention paid by senior dresser Angela Kelly, can be credited for many of the Queen's looks

✏️ The Queen’s hats and coats are often designed in-house by Kelly.
🪡 Designs are then made by her team of seamstresses or are commissioned to just one designer, Stewart Parvin, and a small handful of milliners, including Rachel Trevor Morgan

👜Another British company, Launer, has made over 200 handbags for the Queen since she was a young woman
