Queen Elizabeth's fashion looks to go on display in new London exhibition, World News
Queen Elizabeth's fashion looks are to go on display in a huge new exhibition in London. The monarch — who died in September 2022 at the age of 96 — will be celebrated for her style choices in a new show at Buckingham Palace in London to mark the year she would have turned 100 and it's been described as the "largest and most comprehensive" collection of the late monarch's clothing ever to be seen by the public. Exhibition curator Caroline de Guitaut said: "Only now, as the late Queen's fashion archive comes under the care of Royal Collection Trust, can we tell the story of a lifetime of thoughtful style choices — from her hands-on role and understanding of the soft power behind her clothing, to the exceptional craftsmanship behind each garment. "In the year that she would have turned 100 years old, this exhibition will be a celebration of Queen Elizabeth's uniquely British style and her enduring fashion legacy." The exhibition — put on by the Royal Collection Trust — is titled Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style and it's due to open in spring of 2026. [embed] It will feature more than 200 items of clothing including the wedding dress — designed by Norman Hartnell — which she wore to marry Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 as well as the gown she wore for her Coronation in 1953. The collection includes clothing, hats, shoes, accessories and jewellery alongside design sketches and fabric samples as well as correspondence which lifts the lid on the process of dressing the monarch. It will feature pieces from Elizabeth's childhood and early years as well as throughout her reign from state occasions to items she wore when she was off duty such as riding jackets, tartan skirts and headscarves. Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will run at the King's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, from spring to autumn 2026 and tickets go on sale from November 2025. The show will be accompanied by a book — Queen Elizabeth II: Fashion and Style — written by de Guitaut and features contributions from fashion experts and designers. [[nid:719552]]

Queen Elizabeth fashion exhibition to open in London next year
Clothes worn by the late Queen Elizabeth will be on show at a major exhibition at Buckingham Palace in London next year, the Royal Collection Trust has announced. The monarch's official residence will stage the show featuring around 200 items covering multiple decades of her life from childhood onwards. It's said to be the largest exhibition of her clothing ever. 2026 is the centenary of the late Queen's birth and Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will open next spring. Pieces on show will include her intricate Norman Hartnell wedding dress, made in 1947 by Norman Hartnell and her coronation dress, both featuring heavily symbolic embroidery. Another wedding piece — a silver lamé and tulle bridesmaid's dress she wore in 1934 before it was ever known that she would one day become Queen — will also be one of the exhibits. More everyday pieces will be included such as headscarves and riding jackets, as well as more relaxed printed eveningwear from the 1970s. But the biggest attention will be paid to the occasion dresses worn for state banquets and special events. The exhibition's curator Caroline de Guitaut talked of how the exhibits will illustrate 'the soft power behind her clothing, to the exceptional craftsmanship behind each garment'. That soft power included a green and white dress in Pakistan's national colours made for a 1961 state visit there.

Queen Elizabeth II's fashion to feature in exhibition
Ammon News - The changing fashions of the late Queen Elizabeth are to go on show in a major exhibition next year at Buckingham Palace. There will be about 200 items, including dresses and jewellery, hats and shoes, in what is claimed as the biggest ever display of the late Queen's clothing. The exhibition, featuring items from her childhood through to the decades of her long reign, will coincide with the centenary of her birth. Among the items in Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will be her wedding dress, made in 1947 by the designer Sir Norman Hartnell. The exhibition opening at the King's Gallery at Buckingham Palace next Spring will chronicle Queen Elizabeth's life through the outfits she wore for public events and when off duty. The "archive" of clothes owned by the late Queen, who died at the age of 96 in 2022, is now in the care of the Royal Collection Trust, which announced the exhibition. One of the earliest surviving pieces from her wardrobe is a silver lamé and tulle bridesmaid dress, that she wore at the age of eight in 1934 at the wedding of her uncle the Duke of Kent. Clothes could also serve as a diplomatic message, such as a green and white gown made for a state banquet in Pakistan in 1961, with the dress incorporating the country's national colours. More relaxed, printed dresses showing the fashion trends of the 1970s will be part of the display, along with design sketches and handwritten correspondence about clothing choices.
