In TheCrown, 'Queen Elizabeth refuses to juggle impossible beauty standards alongside the equally impossible standards of her job. Imagine how productive we would all be if we, too, could harness her dowdy energy,' writes shermanelis
Photo: Des Willie/Sophie Mutevelian/Netflix When you’re the queen of the British Empire, it is necessary to appear as though you’re prepared to attend a parade in your honor at a moment’s notice, even within the confines of your own, uh, palace. You must appear approachable, yet demure. A little elegance is allowable, yet you must also take care to not look flashy, lest you draw raised eyebrows.
“Age is rarely kind to anyone,” the queen states resolutely, setting the tone for the entire season. Her advisers are immediately silenced; they cease attempting to massage her ego. She wants to approve the stamp, not stand around wasting time while a crowd of middle-aged men lie to her about her appearance.
Alongside her prim pearls, Colman’s signature accessory is her scowl. It’s the type of look that sends shivers down the spine of both her disobedient oldest son and the grown men tasked with keeping her happy. Yet, part of her job is to appear unthreatening, as inoffensive and benign as possible in the public eye. Hence the rotating set of rectangular, pastel-hued dress suits she wears in meetings with the new prime minister, Harold Wilson.
