Pastel colours, striking hats and pussycat bows: how 94-year-old Queen Elizabeth has pushed aside Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton’s style queen status to become a cutting-edge fashion muse

As the world has been laid low by the coronavirus pandemic, we all need a bit of optimism and hopefulness to lift our spirits. And guess what? Your wardrobe could be a perfect start. From soft shades to millennial purple, dyed on a day-into-night staple Versace gown or a mini dress from Valentino, the spring/summer 2020 runways were awash with joyful candy hues.

Speaking of pastel colours, there’s no better fashion example than Queen Elizabeth. We head to Notting Hill, one of London’s most Instagramable neighbourhoods, to show you how millennials are putting a distinct spin on the queen’s favourite styles.
