Elizabeth (1998) is a film about Queen Elizabeth's life and depicts how she became to be seen as 'the virgin queen'. I am really interested in the hairstyles that you see in this film as I believe that even though they are just an interpretation of what Elizabethan hairstyles are like, I believe they are pretty accurate as they have been based on Elizabethan portraiture. I have included images here from the film Elizabeth (1998) and also Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). I have simply included images of Elizabeth's hair, but throughout the films you can see the hairstyles that her ladies in waiting wore. I found it really interesting to watch this film as you get a full 360 view of the hairstyles that you cannot get from looking at portraiture, so watching both of these films was a great source of research for me, you can see all of the elaborate plaiting and rich adornment.
