Which hat did Camilla wear for RD last year?
 
:previous: My apologies, I was referring to my post 147 which included links to photos of both this year and last year's Remembrance Day and included recent one of Camilla wearing the same coat but a different hat.
 
I like the ruffles. But that hat is hideous.
 
The hat is fine, the dress is awful. She should never wear ruffle. Last year's clean cut suit was lovely.
 
I actually dont mind either the feathery hat or the ruffles. She looks pretty good here. I'll take that look any day over the all white corpse bride look she trots out a few times a year.
 
Scooter, I think you computer is bleaching the colors. She wears cream or ivory not white.

The black ruffle coat/dress and feathery hat were a repeat from 2008 Remembrance Sunday, only the poppies and necklace were changed.

She has worn the black feathery hat to Remembrance services in 2008
2011, 2012 and 2014.

In 2011 & 2012 she wore the same suit with the same feather hat.

She has a cream feathery hat similar to the black one.

I don't like the first one- side note - Sophie looks like she's wearing a sprinkler part of a garden hose.

Like the second one.

Don't like the third one.

Fourth one- back to road kill, and side note -what on earth has Sophie got on her head?
Fifth- Road kill.
Sixth- Love.
Seventh- White road kill. Not good.

I like Camilla's flounce...it softens her look and flounces are most always flattering to women of a certain age. Love that India outfit, especially the graphic dress/top/tunic.
 
^That may well be the single most unflattering group of pictures ever taken of one person. Unjustifiably so.
 
I think Camilla has been very pragmatic. She has got a few black coats a and a few black hats that she uses for funerals, Remembrance Day and other similar events. She mixes and matches them, and some combinations end up being slightly better than others, but I suspect she does not particularly care. She probably just does not feel the need to have a new black coat every year or every other year.
 
I love the dress, but would have preferred flesh-colored stockings, and shoes. Black is a bit much here.

Have to agree. The dress is very smart, but there's no black in it and she's wearing pearls around her neck so I don't think the black stockings work. Black shoes, sure, but not black stockings.
 
I do not think there is anything wrong with wearing black stockings with her outfit.

It could be an old fashion rule she is following, dark stockings to be worn during autumn and winter regardless of the color of the dress and accessories.

Or maybe she had another appointment in the day and changed the dress for the Commonwealth Essay Competition but not the stockings.
 
Wearing stockings to match your shoes is a very old fashion custom. How silly would it have been to have worn ivory shoes with the dark hosiery. Now that would have been awful. Lighter shoes and stockings would have looked nice, but I think we can give her a pass on this one.

It was an evening engagement, so I think it was fine.
 
I do think the style of dress is very flattering - particularly the upper section.
Dark coloured tights are okay but I agree that a lighter shade would have probably been a better choice.

I agree. I would have preferred to see beige stockings with that dress, but it's no big deal.
 
Love Camilla's outfit today- that purple rocks!
 
I love seeing Camila in purple. That color suits her.

What I love about Camilla is that she allow the media to properly photograph her during informal and formal engagements. She loves the camera.

(Sorry it seems like I am stalking you tonight Dman!!)

I would put it that 'she allows the camera to love her' (that is not an argument against 'she loves the camera' just my way of not thinking 'she is looking for the camera', which we see mentioned so many times for certain people)
 
I thought she looked good. Cubitt-Shand tiara and the dress she wore to the Dutch inauguration dinner (?)
 
Camilla's hair...

...has looked much better lately. It's shorter, shinier, and the color is more becoming.

*peers at the photo* I reckon she grabbed a bit of tinsel off the Christmas tree and wrapped it around that tiara. :D
