Buckingham Palace will host the largest-ever exhibition of former British monarch Queen Elizabeth II’s wardrobe next year, in celebration of her 100th birthday.
According to The Independent, the exhibition will highlight the story of Queen Elizabeth II through the clothing she wore across the ten decades of her life.
The 2026 Royal Exhibition, marking the year the Queen would have turned 100, will showcase her garments from birth to maturity, from her off-duty elegance to her diplomatic appearances on the global stage.
Among the key pieces to be displayed in the most comprehensive exhibition ever held of the late Queen’s fashion are her silver lamé and tulle bridesmaid dress worn as an eight-year-old Princess Elizabeth, a trio of vibrantly printed evening gowns designed by Ian Thomas in the 1970s, and her iconic wedding and coronation dresses designed by Sir Norman Hartnell.
Curators say the exhibition will also highlight the diplomatic messaging behind many of her fashion choices.
A notable example is the green-and-white gown she wore at a state banquet in Pakistan in 1961, designed in the colors of the host nation's flag.
