The new Elizabethans

My first new Elizabethan is Beyoncé  although she isn't British I feel she's a world wide icon that is so influential and like Elizabeth she can control her image and is a style icon that stands for strong women. Although Beyoncé is married she still reminds me of queen Elizabeth as she cares about peoples well being as Beyoncé donates a lot to charity and is very in touch with her christianity and  has strong morals similar to Elizabeth's as they . Their both accomplished women as Elizabeth lead Britain into the modern era and Beyoncé is constantly creating new trends, they both stood for the arts encouraging it. Also Beyoncé is known as queen bee and one of her advertisements strongly resembles Elizabeth  This image screams Elizabethan the high hair line with frizzed hair and collar. Also I feel that Beyonce and Elizabeth stand for empowering women and that they are good inspirations for girls and women everywhere.

My second new Elizabethan is Vivienne Westwood- April 8, 1941.
I've choose her as I feel shes is Influential throughtout Britian within her charity work, designs etc..
Shes know as the ' Original and outrageous, British designer '
What I love about Vivienne Westwood is that she pushes the boundaries and within her work shes political and promotes awareness as she truly cares about the issues occurring in the world. Vivienne i also a fan of Elizabeth as she has infulenced alot of Westwood's work and If you look at them both physically theres a few resemblances such as hair color, pale complexion I truly believe Vivienne is a modern day Elizabeth.  Vivienne has helped Britian throughout many issues such as climate change by advertising it through her designs and work which I feel is also a similarity with Elizabeth as her aim as being a queen was to make Britain the best place as possible.  '' The designer said she donated the money after learning that only a tiny amount of the $6.5 billion (£4.2 billion) committed to the World Bank’s Climate Investments Funds (CIF) has been spent''  a quote from an article showing that Vivienne has invested her own money into improving the world for other generations I feel that she is an inspiration and showing that one person can help change the world for the better.
