Queen Elizabeth II's Fashion and Style Part 8: December 2018 - January 2020

[Lady Marlboro]

And yet, we’ll never forget that hairnet of several years ago.

Great minds think alike. When I was starting my laptop to see if there were pictures of Chelsea, I was think "God, I hope she isn't wearing that hairnet thing".

I like the pretty spring green of her coat and the frog closing adds a nice interest to it.

A lovely colour & style for HM - my elderly, silver-haired mother wears this colour well too.

I have to admit that it tickles my fancy when I look at each ensemble and smile at the ultimate style influencer in the BRF. She's got colour blocking down to a science and is not showing us how to best display the tiny prints that seem to be all the "thing" this Spring.

Those gorgeous flashes of colour and design are glimpsed at the necklines of her coats designed to do just that and also to give a bigger splash at the bottom of the coat when the pretty florals flash as she walks. This latest mint green coat is a marvel of design and the white-backed floral dress looks great with its small pleats. I would love a full-length shot of the dress but I doubt that will ever happen.

At the Chelsea Flower Show, Catherine's print looked overly fussy beside the Queen with her bright and busy print dress covered by a lovely pale lime coat with a very interesting hook up instead of buttons,

As much as I like the light pink ensemble from the garden party, as less do I like the other dress. The colors are nice, but I don't think its a pattern that suits her very much.

What a lovely shade of light pink on the queen,the hat brooch too are both worth a mention.

She looks beautiful!

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

HM looked very pretty in pink at the garden party today!

 

[Tarlita]

That shade of pink really suits her. Angela Kelly does a wonderful job of dressing The Queen.

BTW the Queen is wearing The City of London Lily brooch.

The queen looking lovely today in her mint green outfit.

 

[MARG]

Ah, perfection.

 

[Ista]

Her Majesty is lovely, as always.

 

[dbarn67]

Her Majesty looks wonderful, as always.

 

[Lady Marlboro]

Is it my imagination (I hope), or are some of HM's clothes looking a little baggy - like she has lost weight and things haven't been re-fitted. It seems to be more the dresses than the coats. See audience dress in post #166 above. I also noticed it in the dress she wore for the US state visit, the pictures where they were looking at items from the Royal Collection. It makes me worry a bit.

 

[Tirilschatz]

Its normal that people that age lose some weight.
Although I havent noticed that.

 

[QueenPenny]

So lovely!

 

[Lady Marlboro]

Its normal that people that age lose some weight.
Although I havent noticed that.

I realize that as I am personally going through it. What surprises me is that adjustments haven't been made to outfits.

 

[Ista]

It's not just weight loss that can happen as you get older, it's the weight ...shift. Things aren't quite where they used to be, and that can affect how the clothes fit.

 

[Tirilschatz]

I realize that as I am personally going through it. What surprises me is that adjustments haven't been made to outfits.

maybe because its more comfortable for her this way. And its not as if it is looking too weird.

 

[Lilyflo]

My mother is 89 & her clothes are becoming looser on her. Perhaps the Queen's dressmakers need to adjust the dummies they use.

The Queen looks lovely today and as always, her radiant smile is the best accessory.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

This is a very pretty shade of blue for HM. She looks fabulous - as ever!
