Also: One strand of Power Pearls to Betty’s zero strands. Her maternal feelings are swaddled in a huge fur-accented coat, which gives her a much broader and imposing feel. The Queen Mother starts her appeal to Elizabeth by stating “I have two daughters whom I love very much.” That’s evident in her costume, which sports both the queenly blue of Elizabeth as well as the bold florals of Margaret. Which she does, by facing off against a pearl-less Elizabeth in another “family dressing for family” moment: And she’s got no less than THREE strands to her Power Pearls.
The color scheme is a queenly blue and white. She’s dressed in that same somewhat frumpy blue dress of which she seems to have a dozen copies. If we note that “Elizabeth” is dressed somewhat frumpily in comparison to her “sister,” we’re not referring to either of the historical, real world figures. The second thing is to remind anyone reading that we’re discussing the characters in a fictionalized tale and not the real people, except as a reference or comparison.

This isn’t about trying to crack a secret code so much as it’s about finding new ways to examine a scene or a story. It’s even more possible that we’re picking up on things that were not intentional. It’s possible all of these motifs were laid out and planned meticulously by Costume Designer Michele Clapton. Two things before we go any further: The first is that we’re trying to be careful about not ascribing intent here. The former aspect is rendered above, but when it comes time to reference the daughter or sister – especially when those roles come into conflict with her primary role, she’s often rendered in green.
#The crown season 1 episodes 5 and 6 series
The entire series has been about the tension between Elizabeth the Goddess and Elizabeth the woman between the image/icon and the sister/wife/daughter. In almost every episode, there’s at least one example of this blue-and-white “exalted figure” style of costume, such as this short scene later: When we speak of her in blue, it tends to reference the goddess/Madonna aspects of the role the image of the Queen. We noted then that the figure of the Queen is a public performance for Elizabeth. In addition, Elizabeth seems just a bit more fussed with her clothes, as compared to the dressing scene in the previous episode, where she barely acknowledged what she was wearing. The jacket, gloves and capelet are all very much on trend for late ’50s fashion. And the ensemble is an unusually chic and modern choice for a character who’s been depicted as the less modern and less chic of the two sisters. Green has been a consistent color story for Elizabeth, but in most cases, when she’s depicted wearing it, it’s a very sturdy, sober, muted green that almost comes off like the color of a military uniform.
