15 High Fashion Photos of a Young Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee kicks off tomorrow, which basically means that Britons can get shitfaced for four days in celebration of their monarch's sixty years of rule.  While many of us picture a white-haired, kind-looking little old lady who favors hats, pastel suit dresses and sensible shoes, there was a time when the Queen rocked some seriously fashionable dresses -- so fashionable, in fact, that her gowns could rival those of her granddaughter-in-law and perhaps even her former daughter-in-law (that would be the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Diana, respectively).  Whether you plan to celebrate the Jubilee or not, take a look at these 15 High Fashion Photos of a Young Queen Elizabeth.
