Royal Blue Peter Enrione Coat and Aqua Hat by Angela Kelly

For her arrival at Berlin Tegel Airport on the evening of 23 June 2015, at the start of a four-day State visit (Daily Mail article here), the Queen selected a new ensamble, comprised of a collarless coat with strongly asymmetrical buttoning in a rich shade of royal blue and a silk paisley print dress on aqua background, both by Peter Enrione, set off with an aqua straw hat by Angela Kelly, with the crown overlaid in pleated sinamay to resemble a layer of organdy, upturned brim and blue silk rose trim. For her first appearance in this outfit, the Queen accessorized with Queen Victoria's sapphire and diamond brooch:

Peter Enrione Cerise Coat and Floral Print Dress, Angela Kelly Hat

A cerise crepe coat fastened with a single gold button at the collar and a flower print silk dress in shades of cerise and pink on a cream background, both by Peter Enrione, topped off with a fabric covered hat with straw brim in cerise trimmed with a large silk bloom to one side.

Debuted on 16 June 2015, Day 1 of the Royal Ascot meeting (Daily Mail article here).
Can we all please pause for a moment to admire che absolutely fabulous ruby brooch the Queen was wearing? An oval one to which is suspended a slightly smaller teardrop stone, both surrounded by diamonds. They were part of Queen Victoria's ruby parure (probably acquired to match her Oriental Circlet), left to the Crown upon her death in 1901, and had not been seen in public since the Queen Mother was alive. It was a fab surprise to see them worn again by the Queen:

Mint Green and Pink Peter Enrione with Angela Kelly Hat

Oh, where to begin with this multi-coloured, oh-so-pretty ensamble? I think it's just lovely! Debuted on 19 June 2013, Day 2 of the Royal Ascot horse races, it comprises a lightweight crepe coat in mint green and a floral silk dress, both by Peter Enrione, plus a hat by Angela Kelly in pink straw, trimmed with mint green fabric and a large silk rose with feathers to one side.

It's interesting to note that the Queen managed - without realsing - to scupper the bookmakers' hopes of low payouts to those who bet on what colour outfit and hat she would be wearing. In fact, in this instance, everyone who guessed she would wear either pink, purple or green headgear received winnings. For the occasion, the Queen sported a new emerald and diamond brooch in the Art Deco style:






The outfit was worn again a year later, on 12 June 2014, for a visit to Westminster School in London, this time paired with the Queen Mother's Palm Leaf brooch:



On 30 June 2015, the Queen wore this outfit again for the Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, at the start of her annual week of Scottish engagements (Daily Mail article here). As usual for the occasion, she selected the Royal Regiment of Scotland badge brooch:



The outfit was repeated on 19 May 2016 at a Buckingham Palace garden party (Daily Mail article here). This time the Queen accessorized with the Cullinan V brooch:




This is a look I'd be perfectly happy to see worn on a weekly basis, so much I love it! :)

Peter Enrione Pink Outfit and Two Angela Kelly Hats

The Queen first wore this bright pink Peter Enrione dress and cashmere coat, with a matching  feather-trimmed hat by Angela Kelly on 21 March 2009, for a visit to the Heinz factory in Wigan, Greater Manchester, and completed the look with the Flower Basket brooch:
 
 
On 27 April 2010, the Queen was again in pink on a visit to Caernarfon Castle in Wales, this time jazzing up the outfit with the Queen Mother's Palm Leaf brooch:
 




We saw the look repeated on 17 February 2011, when the Queen visited King's Court First School in Old Windsor for its 50th anniversary, wearing her diamond and unidentified pink stone brooch:


The exact same look, down to the same brooch (this time pinned to the lapel instead of the actual coat), was worn again a couple of months later to the Royal Windsor Horse Show on 14 May 2011:


Commonwealth Observance Day at Westminster Abbey on 12 March 2012 saw the appearance of a new hat to coordinate this look, another feather-trimmed Angela Kelly creation, this time not in straw but in the same cashmere fabric of the coat. The Queen Mother's Palm Leaf brooch was chosen again:
 

 
On 23 January 2013, the Queen chose this look (sans hat, as this is a traditionally hatless engagement) for her annual visit to the Sandringham and West Newton branch of the Women's Insitute, of which she is president, a position she took over from the Queen Mother. She wore the Jardine Star brooch:
 

 
We saw the straw hat again on 21 March 2014, when the Queen visited Rambert, Britain's national dance company in London. The yellow gold Frosted Sunflower brooch was worn:



 
More than a year later, on 28 May 2015, this look, topped off with the straw hat and a multi-coloured diamond brooch in the shape of a spray of roses, came up again for the third garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace (Daily Mail article is here, scroll all the way down for photos):
 
 
 
Then, on 19 November 2015, the coat and straw hat combo made another appeareance on a visit to Birmingham, the first made by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh since the Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK in 2012 (Daily Mail article here). This time the Queen accessorized with the Jardine Star brooch:
 

 
The Queen and the Duke rode on a tram on the Metroline Tramline Extension in Birmingham sporting a rather special display annoucement:

Peter Enrione Turquoise Wool Outfit and Rachel Trevor Morgan Hat

The Queen debuted this bright turquoise wool dress with matching coat on 25 December 2012, for the traditional Christmas Day appearance at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham Estate.
What's most striking of this coat, apart from the colour, is the geometric detail of the buttoning. The hat is by Rachel Trevor Morgan and made from the same wool material, with an upturned brim and flower trim.
For the Christmas Day appearance, the Queen completed the look with a black fur scarf and the flamboyant Diamond Jubilee brooch presented by the British Jewellers' Association:



 

The outfit was repeated almost a year later, on 8 November 2013, when the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the headquarters of SSAFA (Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association) in London. Founded in 1885, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Families Association is a British charitable organisation providing assistance to former and serving members of British Armed Forces and their families or dependants.
No scarf was worn on this occasion, so we got a glimpse of the dress, which appears to be made of a brocade type material in a floral motif.
Queen Victoria's Pearl Pendant brooch was used:



On 28 May 2014, the Queen wore the dress on its own to hold audiences at Buckingham Palace. Below she is seen with His Excellency Mr Nestor Osorio Londono, Ambassador from the Republic of Colombia to the Court of St James's:

A few months later, on 17 October 2014, the dress was chosen once again, for investitures at Buckingham Palace; among those honoured was Maggie Smith, who was made a member of the Order of the Companion of Honour:




The complete outfit, this time accessorised with the Tudor Rose brooch, was worn again for a visit to the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Walsall, West Midlands, on 30 October 2014:





Less than a month later, on 25 November 2014, we got another look at the dress that goes with this coat, when the Queen wore it again for audiences at Buckingham Palace, accessorised with what looks like the Round Cambridge Emerald brooch with pendant. Below the Queen is shown with His Excellency Mohammed Abdalla Ali Eltom, the Ambassador of the Republic of the Sudan to the UK:


Almost a year passed before we got to see this outfit again - Her Majesty selected it for the official opening of the new School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Surrey on 15 October 2015 (Daily Mail article here). The Pearl Trefoil brooch was used:




A few months later, on 4 February 2016, Her Majesty repeated this cheerful ensamble for a visit to the Norfolk Hospice, to open its new facilities at Tapping House near Sandringham (Daily Mail article here). She wore her Mappin & Webb crystal orchid brooch:



The Queen was presented with teddy bears for her great-grandchildren Prince George and Princess Charlotte during the visit:



On 18 October 2016, the Queen wore the dress to receive in audience at Buckingham Palace the Governor of South Australia, the Hon. Hieu Van Le, and his wife. She accessorized with the round Cambridge emerald brooch with pendant:


The Queen wore the outfit again on 14 February 2017, when she opened the new National Cyber Security Centre in London (Daily Mail article here). She wore the round Cambridge emerald brooch without pendant:
