The reason I picked this image out is because I believe it actually features hints and an essence of the Elizabethan era. For example, it shows the queen looking extremely powerful (with what she is holding and the jewels/pearls on her clothing), she has very pale skiing with red lips and very thin, almost not there eyebrows, she also has red hair with a very far back headline, shaped into a heart; all of which are aspects which are linked and related back to the Elizabethan period.
In the interview, O'Reilly says "For the film, there were lots of concept meetings with the costume designer Colleen Atwood, who does pretty much all of Tim Burton’s movies, and a really short meeting with Tim where he basically told me to look at Bette Davis from the Queen Elizabeth movie that she did." She goes on to say "I took inspiration from that as well as Helena Bonham Carters face, she has a very heart shaped face and I sort of incorporated that into everything." This clearly relates to the Elizabethan style because women often wore headpieces which were heart-shaped or framed the face in such a way.
