King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace is showcasing 300 selections drawn from a collection of 4,000 items she owned.
The collection also highlights the queen’s talent for melding fashion with diplomacy. Some notable pieces she sported while meeting with leaders abroad include a cherry blossom dress from her 1975 trip to Japan, the green-and-white dress she wore to a 1961 state banquet in Pakistan to match the country’s flag, and a shamrock-dappled gown from her 2011 visit to Ireland.
“Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style” is on display through October 18 at the King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace.
