She ruled for longer than any monarch in British history, and during that time Queen Elizabeth II developed her own instantly recognisable style.
By incorporating daring colours, crisp silhouettes and a practical cut, she achieved a look that was individual, appropriate and, quite simply, fit for a queen.
She had a high fashion bar to meet at the many events and occasions she was invited to attend.
 In her latter years, the Queen may not have had quite such a busy working calendar as in her youth, but she still dressed up and attended many important events in her role as head of state.
As the world mourns her loss, we look back at how the Queen became fashion royalty, pulling off daring looks and avoiding fashion missteps along the way.
Signature look
The Queen would steer clear of style trends that would quickly fall out of favour. But that didn’t mean she was boring in her fashion choices. Far from it.
Her look had an instantly recognisable silhouette – think slim-brimmed hat, A-line dress and tailored jacket.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour called it “an iconic ‘uniform’ that suggested continuity and tradition”.
Indeed, the Queen became a cover star for the hallowed fashion bible in 2022, pictured in the early days of her reign.
Labelled a “fashion icon” by Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, it’s no exaggeration to say the Queen was perhaps the most readily identifiable person on the planet.
