With temperatures soaring in
L.A. at the moment, I thought I'd cool off and pop along to the
Paley Center for Media in
Beverly Hills and check out the fabulous costume exhibit for the second season of
Netflix's The Crown television series before the temporary exhibition for the historical drama came to an end.

First up is this delightful
Ambassador's ball gown worn by
Claire Foy as
Her Majesty 'Queen Elizabeth II' in episode four of the sophomore season,
'Beryl'.

These other costumes are from the same episode worn by
Vanessa Kirby as the
Queen's party-loving sister
'Princess Margaret' and the
Cavendish party suit worn by
Matthew Goode as her lover,
'Anthony "Tony" Armstrong-Jones'.

Princess Margaret's Birthday Portrait fairytale gown is especially cool to see in person with the butterfly detailing.

The next collection of outfits are from the
Emmy-nominated eighth episode of the second season,
'Dear Mrs. Kennedy', when the 35th
American President 'John F. Kennedy' (played by
Michael C. Hall) and
'Jackie Kennedy' (Jodi Balfour) visit
Buckingham Palace and
Queen Elizabeth takes a trip to
Ghana to quell an insurrection.
Meanwhile fans of
Matt Smith as
'Prince Philip' can also check out all his
Doctor Who costumes on display.

For another pink
Chanel suit worn by the
American First Lady be sure to also take a look at
Natalie Portman's Jackie movie costume.
Meanwhile fans of this show can also check out these
Emmy-winning costumes from The Crown's first season.
Obviously this is the last we'll see of this particular cast in their royal attire as new actors take over the roles in the third season, but let's see in September whether
The Crown can take home another accolade for
Costume Design.
