Step aside Princesses,here's the Queen ot fashion.
This weekend England will celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's 60th year on the throne. And although she is the second longest reigning queen after Queen Victoria, she's second to none in the royal family in terms of being a style icon. Be it the sumptuous silks, satins gowns or full-skirted dresses, she has always been the epitome of elegance and continues to be one, even today. With a daughter-in-law like Princess Diana, and now granddaughter-in-law Kate Middleton, who are fashion divas in their own rights, Queen Elizabeth does stand her ground as a woman who knows how to reign in style.
