A comeback in a yellow dress for Queen Elizabeth II
Another sign that does not deceive: the holding of the queen. In a photo shared by Buckingham Palace, we see her participating in her video conference wearing a yellow dress, accessorized with a pearl necklace. A combo that she appreciates: she had already sported it at the wedding of her grandson, William, with Meghan Markle, following that day one of her golden rules in terms of look. Indeed, the Queen usually opts for bright colors during public events, which ensures her to be seen and to stand out from the rest of the world.
For this first public appearance after her forced rest, the shade she chose was more or less the same as the princely wedding day: a chick yellow which, without being flashy, gives a good look and conveys an impression of gaiety. Why yellow? The historian Michel Pastoureau, known for his work on the history of colors in the West, recalls that it was originally a positive shade. During Greco-Roman Antiquity, it thus symbolized wealth, prosperity, light and warmth. It was only in the Middle Ages that it took on a negative connotation – the color of traitors and people guilty of lese majesty crimes. There is no doubt that the very traditional Queen of England has bet on the original message of yellow, thus signing a dazzling return.
