EDINBURGH, JUNE 2022
On a visit to her beloved Scotland in June, the Queen attended an Armed Forces Act of Loyalty Parade at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Wearing a lilac dress coat and matching hat, the monarch made her appearance during Holyrood Week, known in Scotland as Royal Week. She may have added a walking stick to her ensemble, but it couldn’t overshadow her best accessory – her smile.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE, OCTOBER 2021
The Queen looked bright and cheerful wearing this bold orange hue, in a pumpkin shade befitting the season. Along with a coordinating hat, she finished off the look with signature black accessories, a string of pearls and the Nizam of Hyderabad Rose brooch.
ASCOT, OCTOBER 2021
Cobalt blue was a flattering colour choice when Her Majesty attended Champions Day at Ascot racecourse. The two-piece featured a velvet collar, matching the trim on her hat. She also wore her Art Deco Pearl Triangle Brooch, featuring two pearls and a yellow diamond, which has been in her collection since the 1950s. Despite having used a walking stick in previous weeks, she made her way unaided to watch the exciting racing event unfold.

Queen Elizabeth often favoured bright shades for public appearances as the vibrant hues made her easy to spot in large crowds. This lime dress coat and hat were no exception as she hosted a reception for leaders of the Group of Seven richest nations. Underneath her chic tailored coat, she opted for a ditsy floral number and paired it with her much-loved black loafers, handmade by Anello & Davide.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE, MAY 2019
Her Majesty looked a vision in pale pink as she attended an event at Buckingham Palace. Our stylish Queen consistently nailed the art of accessorising, too – so much so that the baby pink umbrella matched perfectly with her dress coat and hat. As always, she opted for her favourite black patent bag and string of pearls.
BRACKNELL, OCTOBER 2018
The Queen donned every colour of the rainbow in her time. On this occasion she opted for a turquoise coat and hat set. Her hat was thoughtfully decorated with a floral garnish, perfectly matching her bold printed dress. Never far from a pair of gloves, this time she chose black to coordinate with her classic bag and loafers – we loved this look.
