Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style extended through April 2027 due to popular demand

Queen Elizabeth II

If you missed out on tickets to Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style before they sold out, don’t fret: The Royal Collection Trust has extended their landmark exhibit about the late monarch’s style another six months.

Visitors will be able to view some of Queen Elizabeth II’s most iconic gowns—including her 1947 wedding dress and 1953 coronation gown—and outfits from her ten decades of life through April 2027.

Three hundred items are on display at The King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, some for the first time. The exhibit opened in April to coincide with Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday and sold out shortly after opening.

“The response to this exhibition has been unprecedented,” Tim Knox, the Director of the Royal Collection, said.

“We are delighted to extend its run, ensuring that even more people from across the UK and around the world will have the chance to experience this once-in-a-generation tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s life and legacy, in line with our charitable aim to share the Royal Collection as widely as possible.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla paid a visit to the exhibit on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday last month, and were joined by Lady Sarah Chatto, the late queen’s niece, as they toured around the collection.

Caroline de Guitaut, the Exhibition Curator and Surveyor of The King’s Works of Arts, said the exhibit celebrates “Queen Elizabeth’s uniquely British style and her enduring fashion legacy.”
