Caroline de Guitaut, exhibition curator and Surveyor of The King's Works of Art has also written an accompanying book, Queen Elizabeth II: Fashion and Style.

"Only now, as the late Queen's fashion archive comes under the care of Royal Collection Trust, can we tell the story of a lifetime of thoughtful style choices - from her hands-on role and understanding of the soft power behind her clothing, to the exceptional craftsmanship behind each garment."
"In the year that she would have turned 100-years-old, this exhibition will be a celebration of Queen Elizabeth's uniquely British style and her enduring fashion legacy."
The Royal Collection cited evening wear as a "vital component of the Queen's wardrobe", with members of the public able to see "stunning examples that reflect the evolution of fashion trends throughout the Queen's long reign".
Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style is at The King's Gallery from spring to autumn 2026, with tickets on sale this November.

The 68-year-old shared a photo of a sun setting over water and captioned it: "It's the end of a very long week." While she made no reference to And Just Like That, her fans considered a response to the axing, with one writing: "Translation: finally this thing is over (in a Samantha voice)". Another added: "You never disappoint! Samantha Jones!".

When And Just Like That was first announced, Kim publicly shared her reasons for not returning, having played Samantha in the original series from 1998 to 2004, and two movies. But aside from her series two cameo - which was a phone call between Samantha and Carrie which didn't require her to film with the rest of the cast - she has remained quiet. Show writer Michael Patrick King confirmed And Just Like That's ending in a statement on Friday. Most read in Entertainment He said: "And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. And Just Like That's new teaser sparks conspiracy theory that Samantha Jones is BACK after Kim Cattrall season 2 cameo "Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12." He added: "SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." Sarah Jessica Parker, 60, subsequently shared her own lengthy tribute to the show and her character, Carrie Bradshaw. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all, I love you so.' Sarah Jessica Parker After saying she had loved Carrie "most of all" out of any of her other roles, she concluded her post - which included a montage of moments from the original and reboot - saying: "And Just Like That…was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. "I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all, I love you so.' 6 She made a brief cameo in series two, which didn't require her to film with any of the other cast members Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 6 Sarah Jessica Parker paid a lengthy tribute to the show and her character Carrie hours after the news broke on Friday Credit: Alamy
