Elizabeth Taylor's life in fashion

A natural beauty at just 14, with a middle parting and loose ringlets.


The Western trend (1956) Taylor and James Dean in film Giant.
Celebrating an Oscar win in 1961 with a bouffant hair do, shift dress and dangly earrings.



Grecian goddess in Cleopatra (1963)


From work to her personal life (1963), marrying the love of her life Richard Burton, for the first of two times, in a daisy headdress and springtime yellow cowl neck dress with broach.

Taylor oozes glamour in this long silk kaftan and medallion, taken days before she divorced Burton (1976).
The eighties saw Taylor continue with her flamboyant style. Here she wears fur headband, matching stole, checked coat, gold earrings and ruby red lipstick.

The late eighties Taylor is inspired by Dynasty, killer red talons, lots of diamonds and big shoulders.
Taylor tries the colour blocking trend to receive her MBE from the Queen in 1999.

In her seventies Taylor was still a true style icon, dressed in next season's must have colour- orange, and wearing a fur lined cape.
