Queen Elizabeth II Dead: Bright coat dresses, brooches, hats - many hues of Queen's style statement

The death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 marks the end of an era. The British monarch has had a distinct fashion sense, bordering on conservative, which evolved over the years. Here's taking a look at the Queen's style statement.

Queen Elizabeth II death: Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmore Castle in Scotland on September 8 at the age of 96. The longest-serving monarch of the UK was born on April 21, 1926. She was the oldest child of the Duke and Duchess of York - who later became King George VI - and Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty's extraordinary life and reign, from a young girl who did not expect to be Queen, to an iconic and celebrated figure who has ruled for more than 70 years came to an end on Thursday. Elizabeth II, died peacefully at Balmoral castle aged 96, the royal family said in a statement.

Queen Elizabeth has had a distinct taste when it came to fashion. In the later half of her life, we remember her donning bright dresses with matching hats and shoes.

The queen also had a fascination for brooches, which were all heirloom pieces. Sharing the pictures of her brooches, the official Instagram handle @theroyalfamily wrote,"Each represents a nation of the UK; rose for England, sprays of daffodils for Wales, thistles for Scotland and a sprig of shamrock for Northern Ireland, – emblems that also adorned Her Majesty’s Coronation Dress, which is also on display at the Castle."

Layered pearl necklace was another favourite of the queen. During a visit to the Isle of Man in 1972, the Queen wore a layered pearl neckpiece with her mustard yellow coat dress and floral hat.
