Thank you for all those, Ally! Ella has a very beautiful and smiling face since childhood, and her very affectionate nature shows itself as early as those times.

That is why she was once named "the most beautiful princess in Europe" ! Her smile made her more charming than her equally beautiful sister Alix.

Indeed, Ella's smile was wonderful...and I believe people also lamented her  b/w photos could not do Ella justice
 because they did not record her exquisite colouring

I think a few of the color painting did. Her beauty was one of soft expression.

I am in search of a picture of Ella when she was sixteen...preferably at her coming-out ball, but I have a feeling no pictures exist of that occasion. So, any pictures of Ella at the age of 16...I believe the year would have been 1880...the sooner the better! much appreciated!

It's probably mentioned/discussed in one of the biographies on them.

I haven't seen an image from her ball but I think pictures from that age exist in the royal collections of the UK and the Darmstadt archives. They are both searchable.

Does anyone know what Ella's reserved color was for court dresses? I know Marie Pavlovna's (senior) was burnt orange, and Mavra's was matte yellow.  I'd love to know Ella's as well.

Thanks.

Marie of Romania wrote in 'The story of my life' that  she saw Aunt Ella wearing a court dress which was "a colour which is neither blue nor green, the colour of glaciers or of aquamarines." I don't know if this was Ella's reserved colour (as the imperial women seemed to wear different colours apart from their special ones, with the exception of the Empresses', the court ladies', or other designated colours) but it would seem to go well with her ethereal beauty (and she had an aquamarine parure as I recall, very handy!).

Yes. I think she wore it for a portrait too. It was among some of the pieces that she returned to her brother Ernie following Serge's death.

I don't think she had a reserved color. For example, there was her portrait in a pink court dress (it was owned by her husband).
