The images above are the contemporary examples of the Queen Elizabeth I's portrait that I've researched on this post. The models from Vivienne Westwood's Anglomanis Spring/ Summer 2011 collection, feature big dishevelled frizzing hair. The model's hair are an example of crimping hair after brushed out to create frizzy curls and this style gives more volume to the hair.

On above, I have researched more frizzy hairstyles and it is another collections from Vivienne Westwood. These frizzy hairstyles look dramatic and reminds me of a beehive hairstyle. I like how the hair were shaped into a dense structure and the last image features the high forehead which links to the Elizabethans. They uses large padding to add height to the overall hairstyle which also found in many Elizabethans portrait as well.
