This was sequel to the first Elizabeth Movie starring Cate Blanchett. This film explored the second half of Queen Elizabeth's Reign. Although again loosely based on historical events it was a good example of the fashion and style of that era. Referenced from historical portraiture it was a beautiful showcase of elaborate feathered hair pieces, bejewelled crowns and tight, weaved, plaited and curled hairstyles. These inspired upper class women of that time to emulate the queens style.
The 2nd film's style was a lot richer in colour and accessories. the hairstyles were actually created by wigs. At this point in Queen Elizabeth's reign she had shaved her head, inspired by the virgin Mary, she wished to become as pure as Mary, almost reborn as the new virgin Queen. The wig makers on the film were, Terry Jarius, Ray Marston and Carol Waugh. They did an amazing job creating wigs and headdresses that complimented the dresses Cate Blanchett wore in the film.
