A 70 year hairstyle: the story behind the late Queen’s symbolic silhouette
Princess Margaret and with the hairstyle that underpinned her life in hair.Neat, bobbed and set in curls, despite her revolving technicolour wardrobe, Queen Elizabeth II’s hair was the one constant in her style armoury, quite literally the crowning glory to her enduring image. It was a look that is instantly identified from every viewpoint, from the back of an adoring crowd to a tiny postage stamp. The shape of her hair was honed not long after her Coronation in 1952. Princess Diana’s hairstylist, Sam McKnight refers to the look as the ‘Italian Boy’ haircut as seen on the likes of Sophia Loren.
