1961 Press Photo Queen Elizabeth II party V.L. Pandit

Caption: That's no movie queen, it's a real life sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, slinky looking in a figure-hugging evening gown and white stole made this show-stopping entrance last night as she was greeted by the sari-clad Madame V.L. Pandit at a party in the Indian high commissioner's home in London. The queen with the new look, a far cry from her once tweedy appearance, was the guest of honor.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
