Gillian Anderson (as Margaret Thatcher): A skirt suit and Launer handbagSeason 4, Episode 1, 'Gold Stick'
Custom-made royal blue single-breasted jacket with rounded lapels and a matching pleated knee-length skirt, an off-white long-sleeve orange and blue pinstripe blouse with bow collar; together with a pair of navy leather court shoes by Ferragamo, with handwritten production label reading 12 M. Thatcher on the inside of each shoe, with bows to the front, and a black calfskin 'Olympia' Launer handbag with gold hardware and matching leather backed mirror, together with original Launer black box and dust bag with costume department labels including character reference 1 Margaret Thatcher, together with a multi-stone bracelet and a purple stone ring, both in gold tone mounts (6)
FootnotesAs seen in the first meeting with Olivia Colman (as the Queen) in the Audience Room set at Buckingham Palace.
Margaret Thatcher's term as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom began in 1979, and ended with her resignation on the 28th November 1990.
Margaret Thatcher's style echoed her politics, mixing no-nonsense tailored suits with large, elaborate pussy-bows. She often opted for Conservative cobalt blue, as a visual reminder of her politics, and she wore a blue suit to enter number 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister for the first time.
In The Crown, both the characters of Thatcher and the Queen are often seen with a handbag, typically a traditional Launer handbag. The handbag was a staple of their attire for practicality, but for Thatcher it was also viewed as a form of armour.
A handbag was never far from her side, to the extent that her speeches were printed to size to fit into her handbag. In some instances, her handbag was deemed the safest place for papers of utmost importance and sensitivity. She has been quoted as saying; 'Of course, I am obstinate in defending our liberties and our law. That is why I carry a big handbag.' Some viewed it as her weapon when she would pull notes from it, or position it on desks and cabinet tables.
It gave rise to the term "handbagging", added to the English Dictionary in 1982, to treat a person with verbal criticism or coercive behaviour.
