Queen Elizabeth was major catwalk inspo at Gucci's latest show
LONDON -- Queen Elizabeth II is seriously chic. So chic in fact that Gucci -- the pinnacle of Italian fashion -- channelled the Queen's iconic style for its latest catwalk show at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; and imitate Gucci most certainly did.
Gucci models sported the Queen's signature silk headscarves in a presentation of the fashion house's Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

Some models even rocked tartan kilts in a nod to the Queen's love of Scotland. And, that's not to mention the box handbag worn in the crook of the arm. Very HRH.
Models strutted the Abbey's aisles, which have previously been walked by the Queen during her wedding and her Coronation, and by Kate and Will -- the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge -- during the most recent Royal Wedding.
And, headscarves were a MAJOR aspect of the models' ensembles.
Modern geometric prints mixed up with headscarves and regal-looking box bags made for a contemporary twist on Her Majesty's iconic look.
Her Majesty would most certainly approve.
