Queen Elizabeth makes surprise appearance at the London Fashion Week
It was the first time in her 65-year reign that the Queen attended the LFW.
The best of the designers showcased their designs on Tuesday on the ramp at the London Fashion Week, but all eyes were off the ramp on someone who was seated in the front row. Britain`s Queen Elizabeth II was a surprise guest on Tuesday at the London Fashion Week.
It was the first time in her 65-year reign that the Queen attended the LFW.
Dressed in a pale blue suit, she attended designer Richard Quinn`s show and later awarded him with the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.
The royal family`s official Twitter account says, "The Award, initiated in recognition of the role the fashion industry plays in society & diplomacy, will be awarded annually to an emerging British fashion designer who shows talent and originality, whilst demonstrating value to the community and/or sustainable policies."
The 91-year-old monarch sat next to Dame Anna Wintour, editor in chief of American Vogue magazine.Wintour, who is often referred to as the queen of the fashion world, apparently found it hard to keep her cool as she was seen wringing her hands and baring a tense smile.
