Britain's Queen Elizabeth's fashion sense has been praised by industry experts.

The 83-year-old monarch - who held a reception with the Duke of Edinburgh for the British Clothing Industry at her Buckingham Palace residence last night (16.03.10) - was given several tributes for her sense of style by a number of high-profile models, designers and fashion icons in attendance.

British model Twiggy said: "She is a fashion icon. Over the years she has worn some beautiful clothes."

The model-turned-chef Sophie Dahl also echoed her sentiments, claiming the queen had led the way for classic fashion.

She told the Daily Mail newspaper: "The queen is my icon in general. I have embraced her use of matching shoes and handbag since I was 16. I think she looks marvellous."

The queen wore a floral-print Angela Kelly suit for the event, with a black handbag in a matching design, shoes and gloves.

Other stars to attend included the model Erin O'Connor, designers Jasper Conran, Betty Jackson, Julien Macdonald and Jeff Banks as well as photographer David Bailey.

The monarch also toured an exhibition of clothing which had been created by students from The Royal College of Art.
