Glorious Photos Of Young Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret

Before Princess Diana was making puffy sleeves happen and Kate Middleton was perfecting the art of tiara-wearing, Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth were fashionistas. And while Netflix's The Crown has given British monarchy nerds a glimpse into just how gorgeous Margaret and Elizabeth's clothing was, nothing beats the real royal deal.

Here's Princess Elizabeth chilling at Windsor Castle in the summer. Just your typical teenage girl, destined to be queen. #Same

Here, Queen Elizabeth (right) and her lil' sis, Princess Margaret, are twinning again as they take a leisurely bike ride around Windsor, England.

TFW you flash-forward one year and suddenly BOOM, style is being served.

In the late '40s, Margaret started wearing Christian Dior's "New Look," featuring gorgeously full skirts and a tightly cinched waist.

Suddenly Princess Margaret started looking exactly like Natalie Portman.

And she started serving up lace goals.

Not to mention beauty goals.

As you might have guessed based on this outfit, Margaret reached peak icon in the '50s.

In 1953, Margaret's sartorial influence was making *actual* news. To quote an article in The Picture Post, "what she wears is News. It is seen by thousands of women in person, hundreds of thousands on news reels, millions who read the newspapers and magazines."

Meanwhile the London Illustrated said "The Princess…rapidly established herself as a leader of fashion. The 'Margaret look' came to mean simple elegance for the younger set." So in case you're wondering why The Crown's costume budget was so $$$, it's all this gal.

And sure, Elizabeth's style is slightly more modest,but don't get it twisted—HRH still looked amazing.

Here's Princess Margaret at the Opera House in London wearing an elegant gown and white and fur wrap. This is the same year she married Anthony Armstrong-Jones (pictured behind her).

Her Majesty has that pregnancy glow going on. Here, she's pregnant with her fourth and final child, Prince Edward, who was born March 10, 1964.
