Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 this year and a new exhibition showcasing her outfits has been opened at Buckingham Palace on August 18, 2016

The exhibition at Buckingham Palace showcases outfits from royal engagements as well informal occasions. Around 150 outfits will be shown in three different locations, and the content of each exhibition has been selected to have particular association with the location

The selection of outfits worn by the Queen is to go on display at Buckingham Palace as part of an exhibition marking her 90th birthday. At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, for example, the use of tartan in royal dress is explored, while at Windsor Castle magnificent evening gowns worn on official occasions will be contrasted with Elizabeth's fancy-dress costumes, from wartime family pantomimes at the Castle

Visitors can also see the outfit that Her Majesty wore to her daughter, Princess Anne's wedding to Captain Mark Phillips in November 1973 (pictured). The royal blue coat dress with diamond-shaped buttons and matching hat was also designed by Sir Norman Hartnell

Some of the Queen's beloved hats from throughout her early life and reign will also go on show in the exhibition (pictured)
