The Queen wears a glittery crown and sits on a satin covered throne with two of her princesses standing on either side of her.

The Queen and her court are wearing winter ball gowns made of velvet or taffeta. Two wear off-the-shoulder formal gowns with long evening gloves; two have bare arms with corsages pinned to their bodices; and one wears a long sleeve dress and a wrist corsage. All have necklaces of rhinestones, pearls or ribbon.
