Contemporary Elizabethan looks

Here is an image from Corrie Nielson's 2011 catwalk show during London Fashion Week who actually took inspiration from the Elizabethan period for her collection. To me this feels very 'New Elizabethan as the hair has been pulled back into a bun and features a head piece that reminds me of something an Elizabethan woman would wear, however not necessarily one from a high status, this because of the lack of pearls/jewellery that were worn by many wealthy woman and in particular Elizabeth 1. This also feels very 'New Elizabethan to me as the cheeks appear to be quite rosy and the lips have a slight pink tone to them, however it is not as bold as the red colour worn at that time.

Here is an image from Cara Delevingne's cover shoot for Vogue Australia. The title of the article was 'Queen Cara' and therefore I feel they have taken inspiration from Elizabethan makeup to create this look. To me this feels very 'New Elizabethan' they seem to have the element of a paler complexion but have chosen to use a deeper red, more burgundy on the lips and have kept Cara's darker eyebrows (this probably because the model is well known for her darker brows) whereas Elizabethan makeup would often feature lighter brows. This also feels 'New Elizabethan' to me due to the fact that they have chosen to keep Cara's hair in a soft wave as opposed to the tighter styles that women of the Elizabethan time period wore.

Here is an image from Beyonce's promotional video for her 'The Mrs. Carter World Tour'. I feel as though they have taken inspiration from the Elizabethan period to create this look as the artist is referring to herself as a 'Queen'. This feels Elizabethan to me mainly because of the red lips and hair. The hair has been styled to look similar to the curly/frizzy texture that most Elizabethan hair styles had and furthermore features a crown but that has not been placed on the top of the head but to the left hand side. I feel this may have been done to add an element of looking more young and fresh. Finally the lips have been rouged like that of the Elizabethan time period.
