Top 15 Elegant Looks at Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral

Top 15 Elegant Looks at Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral On 19 September 2022, about 2,000 mourners filled Westminster Abbey for the first state funeral in Britain since Winston Churchill's in 1965. Roughly 500 of them were heads of state, foreign royals and other dignitaries, and the Abbey's tenor bell tolled once a minute for 96 minutes before the service, one toll for each year of the Queen's life. This countdown ranks the 15 most elegant looks of that morning. Each entry covers the designer, the milliner, the jewellery and the thinking behind the outfit, using what Business of Fashion, Elle, Hello, People, CNN and the Court Jeweller reported at the time. The dress code asked for black, knee-length coats or dresses, black hats and optional veils. Inside those limits, every woman made different choices, and some of them carried a quiet message. A few things you will see in this video: The lily of the valley embroidery on Sophie's coat dress, the Queen's favourite flower, stitched together with florals from the Queen's own wedding bouquet. The diamond horseshoe brooch Princess Charlotte wore at age seven, a gift from the Queen. The black feather cloak, a kakahu, that Jacinda Ardern wore over her shoulders. The Hesse Diamond Jubilee Brooch pinned to Camilla's coat, given to Queen Victoria in 1897. The thin net veil that Catherine chose, covering her whole face without hiding it.
