Before Queen Elizabeth II was photo-bombing selfies, she was wowing the world with her impeccable style. To this day, Elizabeth plays with color, patterns and of course, plenty of hats.

A new video by news and entertainment archive British Pathé takes a look back at some of her most memorable headpieces. She may only like to wear one color on her nails, but when it comes to hats, the queen's interest knows no bounds.

Check out the traditional, colorful, and at times extravagant hats above.
