After two seasons of dazzling, award-winning costumes, the task to take The Crown into the 1960s fell to Amy Roberts.

She has plenty of experience designing shimmering gowns and regal suits for period television, but taking on a big-budget behemoth such as The Crown for Season 3 meant walking the fine line between recreating the royal family's iconic outfits, including Prince Charles' Investiture and the queen's Silver Jubilee, and bringing her own creative flair to make those vivid 60s colours pop. – Will Thorne/Reuters
