In more recent years, the Queen’s style had evolved from ‘50s fashion to coordinated, monochrome sets, a signature look that also served a practical function amid public engagements, according to royal expert, Daisy McAndrew.
“She’s quite small — so sometimes just quite difficult to spot,” she explained to Today earlier this year. As such, the Monarch’s dressers “decided some years ago that it would be helpful if she was brightly colored so that people could spot her easily.”

This fashion philosophy, McAndrew asserted, also seemingly served a testament to the late ruler’s motto: “you have to be seen to be believed.”
“In other words, now, that’s more about getting out there and doing the job, but it does also lend itself to being seen literally by wearing bright clothes,” the expert continued, noting that “personal preference” also appeared to play a role in her appearance. “She likes all the matching hats and all the rest of it.”
