Queen of style: the 10 best looks of Elizabeth II - in pictures
One of the many extraordinary things about the Queen's extraordinary life is the people she has met, from Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe to Frank Sinatra and the Beatles. Here, in June 1961, she hosts the most glamorous of presidential couples at Buckingham Palace – holding her fashionable spot against none other than Jackie Kennedy. The American wore a state-of-the-art boat-neck dress from Chez Ninon, a New York seamstress licensed to reproduce the latest Parisian fashions. The queen, who is never unduly interested in the latest trends, wore a fairytale ball gown in a millefeuille of blue tulle.
