An Ode to Queen Elizabeth's Very Soft, Very Stylish Blankets
Nobody wears a blanket quite like Queen Elizabeth does because, well, she's the Queen. Here, her best blanket moments throughout the years and wear to shop your own.


If I could be anything in this world, I'd be Queen Elizabeth's blanket. Think about it: It's cozy, it gets to travel the world, and it hears all of the hot royal goss out in public—or, even better, in the car between events. In honor of the Queen's latest blanket appearance today that she shared with Kate Middleton, we've rounded up QE2's chicest blanket moments, below, and wear to shop 'em. Because really, we're all just out here trying to make blankets socially acceptable outerwear.
