AB The fascinating reign of Elizabeth I has been depicted in numerous film and television productions. One such film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007), has garnered much academic attention and criticism for its lack of historical accuracy. There is, however, insufficient research explicitly focused on Elizabeth´s attire, its historicity and the image perpetuated. This paper addresses this important omission. Firstly, a study of the Acts of Apparel enforced by Elizabeth (1574) demonstrates how she limited the attire of others, whilst she dressed extravagantly in order to construct her unique image. This is followed by a technical analysis of the fashion of her era, indicating her dresses in the film were accurately recreated. Lastly, a comparativeanalysis is established between the gowns worn by Elizabeth in the film and four portraits of her from the period in which the film is set. It is found that Elizabeth’s image is faithfully depicted in the film through the accurate representation of her gowns.
