Was Queen Elizabeth I bald? She is said to have reddish-gold
hair like her father, King Henry VIII. The Virgin Queen definitely wore wigs,
and may have sported and influenced some of the fabulous styles depicted below
that were popular with wealthy ladies on the 16th century.It seems that
Elizabeth may have, at times, used wigs not just for fashion but to conceal her
hair going gray. But she did not lose her hair, at least, not until much later
in life, in her mid-sixties.Whether her hair beauty secret was due to nature or
wigs, the indelible image of Elizabeth I is of an elaborately coiffed redhead.
And an incredible, powerful, ruler.
This is one of the most powerful scenes in a movie ever the music is astonishing as well as Elizabeth cutting her hair symbolizing an end to her youthful desires and transformation into the monarch she became.
