What Elizabeth II Used to Wear Before She Found Her Universal Style

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary became Queen in 1952 at the age of 25. Of course, over the course of 7 decades, the wardrobe of Her Majesty has been through a lot of changes, adapting to the laws of fashion and etiquette, because millions of people across the world are watching every step the Queen makes. There are dozens of people working on her image and the rules of Royal style are very strict. For example, did you know that her dress code for important events and theater visits absolutely has to include long satin gloves, a tiara or a crown, and also a fur cape for cold weather? And Elizabeth II has never ever visited the room where her clothes are stored. Every morning, her assistant comes to her with drawings, so that she can choose the necessary outfit for herself.

We at Bright Side are so inspired by the style of the Queen that we have already adopted some of the rules for ourselves. Which of these dresses would you get for yourself?
