Today, Netflix releases the first ten episodes of its new (and most expensive) series The Crown, about the public and private life of Queen Elizabeth II. Rumored to have cost over $100 million to create, the production is getting tons of buzz for its opulent costumes. We’re already so excited by the royal style that we’re breaking down four fashionable moments to look forward to during your marathon binge.

Costume designer Michele Clapton had almost every single costume handmade, rather than turning to vintage. The wedding dress featured in the series actually cost more than the original!

The Coronation
Perhaps a queen’s most important dress is the one she wears at her coronation. While grander than her wedding ceremony gown, the two dresses combined cemented this queen as an icon for generations to come.

Meet the Princess
A fixture seldom introduced is the Queen’s younger sister, Margaret. An international society It girl, the Princess topped best-dressed lists and gossip columns. Now, we’ll learn about her dramatic love affairs – and her affinity for a nipped-in waist and a full skirt.
