The Queen's Style

Queen Elizabeth at the Commonwealth Heads
of Government Meeting in October 2011

Perth, Oct 28 (IANS) Queen Elizabeth II wore a powder blue silk jacquard dress at CHOGM here. It was designed by Angela Kelly, a royal dresser.

The Queen Friday declared open the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

She wore the dress and coat with navy trim to the back. Her hat had a navy blue brim, with the crown of the hat made of the same silk as on her coat.

She also wore a sapphire brooch which previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. [Source]
Meanwhile, Australia's Prime Minister Gillard, whose country hosted the event, wore an odd, lose jacket with a giant scarf/belt. And it is the same outfit she wore for the APEC meetings (here is my post with a photo of her, her "partner" and the Obamas at the APEC meetings).
