From ornate Swarovski encrusted headdresses to detailed gowns, Emily Blunts’s costumes in The Young Victoria are rich and regal. In fact, the film follows the 19th century British queenb’s style evolution as much as her ascension to the throne. ” Her clothes resembled little girls party dresses that were very pretty and frothy. Once she becomes queeni… her style becomes more streamlined and sophisticated, ” the filme’s costume designer, Sandy Powell, told WWD. And Blunto’s performance as Victoria is as memorable as the costumes—she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress this morning. The Young Victoria opens in limited release this Friday.

Queen Victoria commissioned the French artist Eugsegrave;ne Lami (1800-1890) to design costumes for herself and Prince Albert for the 1851 Stuart Ball at Buckingham Palace. The exhibition includes a sumptuous ball gown created from French silk. It features lace, probably from Ireland, in the style of 17th-century Venetian raised-point needle lace. A brocade underskirt might have been acquired at the Great Exhibition, which opened just a few weeks before the Stuart Ball.
