London, May 8 (IANS): Australian singer Dannii Minogue says Britain's Queen Elizabeth is a 'fashion icon' because she has never been boring in the way she dresses up.
"A grandmother several times over, the queen could be forgiven for sauntering into fuddy-duddy land, but instead, she dresses age-appropriately, sticking to colour-blocking suits she knows, and getting it so right," Minogue told glamour.com.
"There aren't lots of octogenarian fashion icons, but this 86 year old is a bonafide style queen," she added.
Minogue says the queen manages to look stylish.
"Her wardrobe is a triumph of stylish functionality. When she stepped off the plane in Australia in October 2011, she spent most of her 11-day tour walking around, meeting her subjects," she said.
