Fit for a queen

It's good to be queen. But do people really want to dress like her?

Reportedly, one of the season's hottest coats in New York and Britain is the Barbour "Beaufort" wax hunting jacket with corduroy collar and cuffs worn by Helen Mirren in the Miramax film "The Queen" in several scenes on the grounds of the Balmoral estate.

Retailers are reporting a run on the classic jacket (that sells for around $395). "The first thing customers say is, 'Have you seen 'The Queen'?' Then they say they want the jacket," Maggie Archambault, of the Barbour store in Manhattan, told the online Telegraph.

"I can understand it actually," said the film's costume designer, Consolata Boyle, during a Q&A after a recent guild screening. "It's a very practical, no-nonsense jacket with lots of little zippers and pockets everywhere."

Seems more "Green Acres" than "Sex and the City" but stranger anti-glam looks have caught on.

Leg warmers, anyone?
