Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style

Three hundred pieces of the late Queen's wardrobe, and the largest show of it ever mounted.

HistoryFashion

At King's Gallery.

Ten decades of clothes, from the christening robe to the off-duty headscarves, with Norman Hartnell's 1947 wedding dress and the 1953 Coronation dress as the two things most people come for. What lifts it above a rail of frocks is the paperwork beside them: design sketches, fabric samples and letters showing how closely the Queen worked on what she wore, and why — the bright block colours chosen so a small woman could be picked out of a crowd of thousands. It runs at the King's Gallery until April 2027 and it sells out. Nothing is held back for walk-ups, so book; the gallery itself says availability is easiest from January 2027. Adult tickets are £22 this year and £24 next, and there is a £1 ticket for anyone on Universal Credit and several other benefits.
