Queen Camilla stepped out over the bank holiday weekend alongside her husband King Charles, at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral, where the pair have been spending their summer holiday. Camilla looked effortlessly elegant. At 77, the royal has developed a style identity that is both regal and relatable.
She often turns to timeless silhouettes, luxurious fabrics and statement accessories that continue to flatter her, despite being well into her seventies. For this occasion, Camilla chose a navy silk dress by Fiona Clare, one of her go-to British designers.
Fiona Clare has been responsible for some of the Queen’s most high-profile looks, including her Trooping the Colour appearances.
The summer-inspired dress featured a delicate patterned print and was layered with a soft neutral pashmina. A look that was captured while she sat beside her husband, King Charles III while they were in the car.
Camilla completed her look with her trusted Bottega Veneta bag, a piece she has carried on many occasions. Once again, she proved that elegance and ease can go hand in hand.
The sleek staple retails at a whopping £2,200 – an investment piece she has worn on repeat
Completing the regal ensemble, the Queen wore a wide-brimmed hat by milliner Philip Treacy. The striking headpiece added polish to her look and highlighted her reputation for favouring British designers.
Camilla has also become known for recycling and rewearing her favourite pieces, a choice that makes her style feel authentic and approachable while still exuding luxury.
Her preference for Fiona Clare couture dresses in classic cuts means she rarely puts a foot wrong. At the same time, her love of bold prints and jewel tones ensures her wardrobe always feels fresh and modern.
The Queen’s ability to balance heritage with modernity has helped cement her as a fashion figure in her own right.
While some royals lean heavily on trend led styling, Camilla shows the power of building a wardrobe of investment pieces and trusted designers that stand the test of time.
In doing so she proves that great style truly knows no age limit. As she continues to take centre stage as Queen, her age defying approach to fashion sets an inspiring example for women in their seventies and beyond, who want to feel elegant, confident and modern.
