It's not everyday you meet the Queen. For Dame Helen Mirren it might be a bit of a flash back, having played Her Majesty in the Oscar winning 2007 film. The two amazing women met last night at Buckingham Palace at a gathering for young people in the performing arts.
And, as usual, Helen looked gorgeous, however a far cry from her racy Dolce and Gabbana leopard print dress and leather jacket we saw a couple of weeks back. Instead she chose a chic grey ruched dress. For me though it was the lace-panel cardi that made the outfit.
Ooo and who's that in the background? Ellie Goulding I see... long term friend of the younger royals and, weirdly, the choice of performer at the wedding after party!
