Queen Elizabeth's colourful wardrobe: Which look is your favourite?
Of all the things Queen Elizabeth is good at, the most flamboyant one of them all is her daring outfits that match every colour of the rainbow.
While Duchess Kate and Meghan may make headlines for their figure-hugging, fashion-forward looks - Her Majesty has become renowned for her bright power suits and colour-coded outfits.
According to Sali Hughes, author of Our Rainbow Queen, there is a distinct reason as to why she chooses the outfits she does.
“[Queen Elizabeth] wears bright colours because she believes it’s her duty to be seen by the people who’ve waited, wet and cold, behind barriers for hours at a time,” Hughes writes.
She adds that Queen Elizabeth’s colour-blocked outfits are “born from practicality'' continuing, “She understands her job is to be seen and, standing at just 5’3…[she] needs all the help she can get."
"It’s not until you see her many thousands of outfits laid out side by side, as I did when editing the pictures for the book, that you see how bold she’s often been in her choices. And she balances those choices with an innate sense of duty - the bright colour blocking is purely so that members of the public, who’ve waited patiently to see her, know exactly who and where she is, however far back in the crowd. The three quarter length sleeves are for easy handshaking. The matronly Annello and Davide block heels (which she calls her ‘work shoes’) are designed to be comfy enough for lengthy walkabouts, meeting as many people as possible," Hughes told us.
