This is an image that really struck me, i felt like the styling in this really made me think of the Elizabethan era. It is by Paco Peregrin, and its the large shoulders and collar and headpiece which gave it a slight Elizabethan feel in a really contemporary way.
Here are some contemporary Elizabethan make up images i have found which are inspiring to me:
After looking at these contemporary images i decided to look at people who have played roles of queen Elizabeth in films, to see how it was interpreted. Firstly i looked at Kate Blanchett who plays Queen Elizabeth in the film Elizabeth.
I then looked at Helen Mirren who plays Elizabeth in another film.
And finally Judi Dench.
You can see an obvious similarity in all of them, but yet there are so many different aspects to each character even though they are playing the same role. Judi Dench has been made much more firm and harsh looking, in comparison to Kate Blanchett. It is interesting to see how different she has been portrayed through age as the second two are a much older Elizabeth and you can tell this by looks and how her persona is coming across in the images above. You can see this through, her clothes, how bigger and more embellished they got through time. Her hair colour, the redder it was. And herself, the first she look more innocent and naive, and the other two she's much more strong and confident looking.
