That, when Tudor/Elizabethan costumes are reused, Anne's are often used later for actresses playing Elizabeth, and Elizabeth's for actresses playing Anne?
Each timeI notice it, I have the image of a young Bess lokking in her mom's old chests and trying the dresses while saying, ” Mother, it's so elegant…” And Anne watching with pride and tenderness…

Yes I have noticed how movie costumes do get recycled! I've seen a coat worn by Natalie Dormer in The Tudors worn by Anne Marie Duff as Elizabeth 1 and a dress also worn by Natalie appearing on Helen Mirren in her turn as Elizabeth. Not sure which came first though, possibly the Elizabeth movies as The Tudors borrowed a lot of costumes from other productions.
I think it's a great way to bring the two together through fashion LOL
