70 years of reign, it is a historic milestone that is about to cross, Sunday, February 6, Queen Elizabeth II. The official festivities will take place at the beginning of June and the queen gave a reception on Saturday February 5 at her residence in Sandringham. At 95, Elisabeth II remains as popular as ever, and so chic.

An iconic wardrobe. 70 years of reign and a rainbow style that has become legendary. Fluorescent green, candy pink, chick yellow, at each of her appearances, Queen Elisabeth sets the tone. An impressive color swatch, an elaborate style, the queen must be seen from afar to be seen by all. “At Buckingham, nothing is left to chance, everything is done so that nothing swears”, says Thomas Pernette, author of “The Hats of the Crown”.

His personal tastes, his majesty expresses them very little, because more than a coquetry, his style is at the service of the Crown. Colorful in the city, more majestic during official events, no room for improvisation. In the end, it is a uniform that the queen personalizes with well-chosen jewelry. There are small details that observers sometimes perceive as political messages, such as a blue hat adorned with yellow daisies, reminiscent of the European flag, in the midst of Brexit, in Parliament in June 2017. Often mocked, its style will not prevent it not to hang out with the stars of the catwalks, like the stylist Anna Wintour.
