The end of a royal era. Rest in Peace , Queen Elizabeth II. 🕊️ "The 1950s was the Queen's most trend-centric decade. As a 25-year-old, newly crowned monarch, she embraced the glamour of the post-war era, promoting British fashion and garnering her own style-icon status along the way, with help from her principal couturiers Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies. "She took to the global stage at a time when the world was largely run by men, and to see her hold on to her razzle-dazzle femininity was just delightful, said Holmes. " The tuxedo-lapel detail on this gown by Norman Hartnell, worn by the Queen in 1952, was daring at the time." (Credit: Getty Images) #QueenElizabeth
