Fit For a Queen
The Queen celebrates her 80th Birthday with an exhibition of her diamonds and jewels.
The exhibit, timed to celebrate the monarch's 80th birthday this year, opened July 26 to the public as part of the annual opening of the palace's state rooms.
The 80 outfits include evening gowns and personal jewelry worn by the queen at both formal occasions and private events from the 1940s to the present day.
Many are in vibrant colors -- from deep pinks to bright greens -- which the queen prefers. Several are by couturiers Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies, who worked for the queen for decades.
