The queen

June 29, 2007

 

Helen Mirren as queen Elizabeth 

Tonight my mother and I watched the award-winning movie The Queen starring Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth. I liked the movie, it portrayed the queen of England in a new way. I also noticed Mirren wore a lot of babushkas when acting out the royal familiy’s stay at Balmoral. Actually I read on Style.com today, that the babushka is replacing the turban this fall. Sadly I couldn’t find a good babushka picture of neither Mirren nor the queen herself.

I also like this poster, as it makes the queen look vounerable

 

Babushkas on the catwalk:

Marc Jacobs, Blumarine and Dolce & Gabbana
