Queen Elizabeth was known for her rainbow-colored coats and creative hats in her later decades, but in the ‘90s and early 2000s, her style was a bit more “frumpy,” according to royal biographer Hugo Vickers. In his new biography of the late Queen, which is serialized in the Daily Mail this week, Vickers wrote that Queen Elizabeth “seemed determined to look like a pensioner” once she turned 65—but when a key royal figure died, her wardrobe shifted.
Writing that the late Queen started “sporting a frumpy-looking hairstyle” in the ‘90s, Vickers said that he felt Queen Elizabeth’s “fashion choices were questionable.”
