golden fringe, the generous layers of her extravagant gown are decorated with

an extravagant rhinestone necklace that complements her dramatic ensemble.

The
last of the Tudor monarchs, Queen Elizabeth I is considered one of the most
successful and popular British rulers in history. Her reign lasted until 1603
and this Elizabethan era was considered a “Golden Age” in English history.
Elizabeth’s subjects called her Glorianna and Good Queen Bess, as she was
enormously popular. Elizabeth I liked to wear lavish gowns and opulent jewels
and her court featured stylish entertainment. She was beloved during her reign,
and, after her death, she became a legend. Barbie® doll pays homage
to this extraordinary monarch dressed in a sumptuous gown inspired by Elizabeth
I. Elaborate jewelry and a golden headpiece lend an air of regal sophistication.
