“…eyes always most attractive Which she knew well how to use with effect, Sometimes leaving them at rest, And at others, sending a message To carry the secret witness of the heart. And truth to tell, such was their power That many surrendered to their obedience.” -Lancelot de Carles

“Those eyes of yours are like dark hooks for the soul.” -Thomas Boleyn, The Tudors season 1, episode 2

"Anne's gowns were made of richly ornamented silks, brocades, and velvets, frequently embroidered with gold and silver thread, and garnished with pearls, jewels, and precious stones." - Retha M. Warnicke, "The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn"

Anne was known for her exquisite sense of fashion and style. She was a trendsetter in her time, and her clothing choices were often imitated by the ladies of the court. One of Anne's signature fashion statements was her French hood, which was a headdress worn by women in the 16th century. Her French hood was often decorated with jewels, beads, and gold embroidery. Anne also wore gowns with wide sleeves, which were known as "French sleeves."

Her gowns were often made of luxurious fabrics such as velvet, silk, and satin, and were adorned with intricate embroidery, lace, and beading. She also favored vibrant colors, such as deep blues, greens, and reds.

Anne's fashion sense was not just about dressing up, but it was also about conveying her status and power. As a queen, she had to maintain a certain level of grandeur and sophistication, and her wardrobe reflected that. She also used fashion as a tool to express her individuality and assert her authority, which was unusual for a woman of her time.

However, her fashion sense also played a role in her downfall. Some of her detractors criticized her for dressing too provocatively and accused her of using her clothing to seduce the king. Her French hood, in particular, was considered by some to be too risqué and suggestive.

Despite the controversy surrounding her fashion choices, Anne Boleyn's legacy as a fashion icon has endured. Her influence can be seen in the clothing of her time, as well as in modern interpretations of Tudor-era fashion.

"Anne's clothing was an outward sign of her power, and her style was emulated by women throughout England." - Antonia Fraser, "The Six Wives of Henry VIII"

Another talent picked up in France? The Queen offers her ladies a broad education. Last I heard she was entertaining Lutherans and heretics. Scholars and philosophers, my Lord, escaping persecution.

What upsets the King, upsets me.

One admires, too, his ability to handle Henry, the ease with which he slipped into one diplomatic report in October 1513 the remark that negotiating with Maximilian I was like tilting with a man whose horse was out of control: ‘it will be long or they join well together’ — just the pleasing, intimate metaphor to attract a king never fond of long epistles.

-Eric Ives in The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn
