Why does an Egyptian queen wear gold and turquoise?

In ancient Egypt, gold represented the eternal and was the metal of the court, so you can recognise a queen by her golden robes. Turquoise and other blue stones were popular gemstones in Egyptian jewellery. The wide collar was one of the most famous pieces of jewellery worn by kings and queens, and this shape is reflected in the coloured collar at the top of this dress.

Complete the Egyptian queen costume Sofia into a full look

A wig is not included, but it is exactly what makes the queen of the Nile recognisable: choose a black wig with a straight-cut fringe that fits under the headband. Gold sandals with straps complement the gold dress and show off the short front hem well. A staff with a snake head in hand and thick black eyeliner with blue eyeshadow complete the look.
