Like an Angel, with Bright Hair

Elizabeth, the future Queen

Three photos on this one. I just couldn't resist. And still so many more to post from the photo shoot earlier this week. These are of my daughter Margaret (now you see why I couldn't resist), who will be playing the part of young Elizabeth.

She doesn't have any lines in the play—just walks in, stands around, and has a great costume. Check out that shimmering, sequined, wine-colored fabric from Mood. It's fantastic. And the folks in the costume room did a great job with the cartridge pleats I asked for on the dropped waist. Elizabeth's costume is another example of the play's melding of period styles—the 15th century waistline/silhouette and simple crown mixed with the modern fabrics and cartridge pleats at the hips.

A word about hair and makeup in the production. Dan Sandy and his team are pulling out all the stops on this one. The makeup is fresh and forward thinking. And the hair designs that Alicia Carr has come up with are beyond my wildest hopes. I am loving working with these folks!

Keep watching for more amazing stuff from the hair & makeup people. (HINT: Lady Anne looks like she's stepped off a Paris runway.)
