Contemporary elizabethan images

I feel that this image is Elizabethan as it displays the pale skin, absence of eyebrows and the colouring of cheeks and lips. At the same time it is contemporary  with the use of white paint in the hair and around the face.

I love this look because its very fresh faced, like Elizabeth is portrayed. The pale skin, red hair and rosy lips and cheek give a very Elizabethan look.

This image collage reminds me of Elizabethans souly because of the ruffles used although some of the images display a pale face. A beautifully contemporary way to use ruffles in fashion.  




























Again this image is Elizabethan due to the ruffles used in the clothing. also the long sleeves and tightness of the top half in contrast with the exaggerated waist (due to the skirt) gives a very 16th century look. I also notice that although the face is a normal skin colour , the eyebrows have been blocked out which compliments the entire look.

 I feel this image is exactly what Elizabeth herself would look like if she lived in the modern couture world. The red hair and frizzing screams Elizabeth although the style is messy and backcombed like the 21st century. The face is perfectly pale, lips and cheeks rosy like Elizabeth but the eyebrows although light are still displayed in the picture which gives a contemporary feel.
