Over 300 items from Queen Elizabeth's personal wardrobe are now on display at Buckingham Palace, including three tiaras that have rarely been seen in public.

The new exhibition Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style is open at the palace's King’s Gallery from April 10 to Oct. 18. The collection, which is in celebration of what would have been the late monarch's centennial, includes everything from the Queen's wedding dress to her coronation ensemble. More than half of the exhibition pieces are on display for the first time.

The impressive collection includes three tiaras that held great importance for Queen Elizabeth and her family.

One is Queen Mary’s Diamond Fringe tiara, which Queen Elizabeth wore for her 1947 wedding to Prince Philip.

Queen Mary originally commissioned the tiara from Garrard in November 1919, per the company's website, and Princess Anne and Princess Beatrice also wore it to their own weddings. The headpiece was made in the Russian halo style and features 633 brilliant-cut and 271 rose-cut diamonds, all mounted on a removable frame so that the piece could also be worn as a necklace. In the exhibition, the tiara is shown above Queen Elizabeth's wedding dress.

Also on display is the Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara, which the Queen commissioned from Garrard in 1957 to complement a necklace and pendant earrings she received as a coronation gift from the Brazilian president, per Garrard. She wore the tiara during a 1968 trip to Brazil — the first time a reigning British monarch had ever visited South America — and for every state visit from Brazil.

The exhibition also features the Burmese Ruby Tiara, which was constructed in 1973 using diamonds from the deconstructed Nizam of Hyderabad Tiara and rubies she received as a gift from the people of Burma for her wedding, per The Court Jeweller.

Other items in the exhibition include the Honiton christening gown, which dates back to 1841 and has been worn by 62 royal babies.

The gown was originally made for the baptism of Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Victoria and was crafted to resemble Queen Victoria's own wedding dress. Other royals who were baptized in the original gown include Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Also on display is a pair of dresses, one worn by the Queen and the other by her stunt double, for their crowd-pleasing, James Bond-themed skit at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

"Queen Elizabeth took a deep and thoughtful interest in every aspect of her wardrobe, using fashion as diplomacy while consistently championing the U.K.’s fashion industry," exhibition curator Caroline de Guitaut said of the exhibition. "In this centenary year, we are thrilled to open up her fashion archive on this unprecedented scale, and hope visitors will discover new layers of meaning in her instantly recognizable, uniquely British style."
