The 100th birthday of the late Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) is celebrated in 2026 with the largest exhibition of her outfits to date. , around 200 dresses and accessories are shown in the King’s Gallery in the Buckingham Palace – about half of them for the first time. Previously “unpublished design sketches, fabric patterns and handwritten letters” should also provide insights into the creation of their wardrobe.
The exhibition entitled “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style” is planned for the period between spring and autumn 2026. She should “celebrate the unique British style of Queen Elizabeth and her lasting fashionable legacy,” explains curator Caroline de Guitaut. A specific start date is still pending, tickets are available from November of this year.
Wedding and coronation dress are shown
The Royal Collection Trust is already presenting a dress of the exhibition: a cream -colored silk dress with floral pearl embroidery. In 1956 Queen Elizabeth II wore the robe with a heart section, designed by the British fashion designer Norman Hartnell (1901-1979). Hartnell was also responsible for the wedding dress from 1947 and the famous coronation dress from 1953, which are also part of the exhibition.
The heart of the collection also includes a couture dress from the childhood of the monarch. Visitors can admire the bridesmaid dress, which she wore at the wedding of her uncle Prince George, Duke of Kent (1902-1942). But Queen Elizabeth’s evening wear from the 1950s to 1970s is also shown – including parts of the designer Hardy Amies (1909-2003) and Ian Thomas. Leisure clothes such as headscarves, riding jackets and carouses will also be visible.
Clothing shows their diplomatic occurrence
In addition, the exhibition illuminates the diplomatic importance of its clothing. So she wore a white evening dress with emerald green fold in a state banquet in the Pakistani city of Karatschi – and thus dressed in the national colors of Pakistan.
The exhibition accompanies the book “Queen Elizabeth II: Fashion and Style”, written by the curator. With additional contributions from fashion experts and designers, it should show how Queen Elizabeth II was committed to the British fashion industry.
