There's no denying that Queen Elizabeth has always been a contender in style stakes. Her outfits might be demure and sophisticated [1], but she nails it every time and her recent ensemble was no exception. However, while she dazzled in a pink and gold floor-length gown, it's her custom gold Launer bag that really caught our eye. The style and shape are classic, but the colour? That's a bit of a departure from the norm for our Liz.
That being said, seeing as Kate Middleton has been picking up style tips from Meghan Markle [2], perhaps the queen's also been sartorially inspired by her granddaughter-in-law to-be? After all, Megan has quite the handbag collection [3].
Whatever colour she goes for [4], the queen is never without her purse and it's not just for show – she's got to have somewhere to keep her lipstick and ironed money [5]. Maybe it's just a matter of time before we see the queen accessorising with a cross-body bag [6]? One can only hope. Ahead, get a closer look at her gold purse, and then shop similar options to copy her excellent style.
