Queen Victoria and subsequently her daughter Princess Alexandra played a huge role as the leading fashion icons of the Victorian era. From the time of her enthronement as queen at the young age of 18, up until the sudden and tragic loss of her beloved husband Prince Albert, Queen Victoria maintained a huge interest in fashion and her trendsetting styles were hugely influential among the people under her reign. When Queen Victoria became widowed, the deep mourning in which she found herself would put an end to her desire to be a fashionable figure amongst her people. For the remaining years of her reign and her life Queen Victoria became known for wearing clothing that would reflect the deep loss she felt after the death of her beloved Prince Albert. Her interest, however, in fashions and clothing, were carried on by her daughter Princess Alexandra and she became an icon of Victorian fashions which were ever changing, modifying and evolving, as fashions do. The Victorian era was a hugely influential time. Not only in the area of fashion but in many areas of the customs, cultures and development of life and people throughout the empire of the then monarchy.
