PICS: Queen Elizabeth II’s best outfits throughout the years

Believe it or not, royal fans have voted red as their favourite colour which the Queen has worn over the years.


With Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee approaching, her stylists are working hard at conceptualising and choosing the outfits the monarch will be wearing to the many events she will be attending during the celebrations.

Topic 10 casinos took to Pinterest for their research where they gathered information and data from over 200 Pinterest boards, and nearly 30,000 Pinterest pins of the Queen’s outfits to discover the most popular colour worn by the monarch, and then ranked them from highest to lowest.

Here are the some of the most popular outfit colours Queen Elizabeth II has warn over the years, ranked from the most favourite:

Red

In first place is the monarch in red outfits. The Queen usually wears red during state visits, especially when she is visiting countries that have flags that feature the rich and eye-catching colour.

Coming in third place is blue. The Queen has long loved the colour, and has been seen many times dressed in blue when she attends banquets and state meetings.

The 96-year-old monarch even wore a stunning full-skirted baby blue tulle evening gown to greet the Kennedys sometime in 1961.
