I think she has no style at all, and she looks rather masculin,not feminin.

[mrsbugman]

She sure is not as beauatiful as Diana. But I do think she "cleans up" ok.

[Royallife]

I agree with mrsbugman. I like most of her outfits these days.

[Lumutqueen]

I agree with the comment above. Camilla is granted not as beautiful as Diana but she has her own style and looks simply stunning sometimes :)

Could we please try to leave out the comparisons with Diana (or anyone else really). Camilla's fashion is the topic of conversation here.

Thanks,

I really loved the outfits (both) she wore for her wedding, real class and very much a regal look for her marriage to the heir to the British throne.

[ChantalC]

I don't mean to be rude to make a comment about Camilla's style. As some members noted about her style, she doesn't have a very good style. I am not a big fan of her style. Yes, she does have wrinkles. It's because she's getting older and she also smokes. She seems to be masculine, not very feminie looking kind of woman.

[Lady Ann]

I think Camilla has come a long way since the days of her bad tweed suits before she married Charles I thought she was always drab and dull. She now always tries to be colorful and she shows class, I think she has come into herself, she is not my favorite royal by a long shot but since this is a fashion thread I will give her just dues, even the red hat on Easter was a nice and bold look.

Here is a picture of a very stylish Camilla in Rome today

[Boris]

Unfortunately, the dress was not fitted properly on her, which is rather too often the case with her clothing.
Her choice of veil, very short and held in place with a weird-looking patch, I consider unfortunate as well:

Well i'm a bit puzzled by this outfit... At some angles it looks indeed ill fitted, at some others it looks , if not beautiful, rather good and must of all appropriate.

I have to agree, it was far too short for the occasion, and wasn't flattering at all and I the veil was too short as well

[Duke of Marmalade]

As very often the outfit looks ill-fitted, especially around the bust. OK Camilla is bigger around there and I hate to point to another woman with the same bust size but very very well fitted and designed outfits: HM.

Nobody expects Camilla to look like a model but she should get the tailoring right. Strange because she is surrounded by people wearing perfectly fitted outfits, not only her mother in law but also her husband.

Actress Joan Collins gave the Duchess of Cornwall ideas for a makeover, saying she needed to dress "younger"

OMG, Joan Collins is the last to give advise one would have thought!

I loved the veil, not overly long or overly gathered, a simple, respectful, head covering, rather than too ornate. Not too sure about the dress, which seems to have been a beautiful brocade.

HM's outfits tend to be rather baggy IMO, with the odd one fitted. In some pictures Camillas outfit seems too tight, in others just right. I suppose it depends on the angle of the camera and how Camilla is standing.

ha ha like marry a toyboy and let your face become a mask that doesn't have much to do with how you actually look, only to let your hands and legs reveal how scary the face might look when the mask is off at home

dressing young would look ridiculous on Camilla, in general her approach is good but I don't think she has the best tailor / designer on hand who not only knows what suits her but is also able to provide a fitted result.
