It seems that velvet is her fabric - her green coat and now her purple - they make her look very grand and elegant.

Camilla recycles nearly all of her clothes. This thread will be huge. I respect her for not being a clothes horse and using her clothes sensibly.

She could use a bit more "uplift"-otherwise okay.

It a nice contrast of the shiny fabric underneath and the velvet overcoat. Rich colours looks great on her.

yay! its so nice to see her reusing this suit and necklace. I like it best of all her outfits. the color goes with her coloring. the a-line shape of the skirt is so flattering and the contrast between the 2 types of fabric is breathtaking.

I really do like most of Camilla's outfits. I didn't expect her to become such an elegant lady.

This might be stupid question, but why isn't Camilla wearing a sash at certain gala events such as the Norwegian State Visit? Thanks for answering :).

No, it's a good question. The answer is that Camilla can't wear a sash until she has been presented with a (British or foreign) Order. At the moment she is Orderless and thus sashless. Being given her first British Order by the Queen will mark yet another stage in her rites of passage into the inner circle of the House of Windsor.

Thumbs up Camilla's style

I like Cmailla's style. She is very elegant and very natural as well. And I find her simply charming. :)

I really liked all of her outfits, and especially the one she wore for the greeting of the Norwegian Royal Famaly. The only exception is perhaps the blue one. I think the Duchess is very elegant.

I think generally, Camilla's outfits have really flattered her. The long blue one with the long scarf that she wore on a visit to Middlesex (I think) really did flatter her. The Green Velvet she wore to turn on the lights in Burlington Arcade and the Purple Velvet she wore at the Prince's Trust function were both hits too. I love the tweedy suit with the blue edges and I think that the black outfit she wore to the Cenotaph was very elegant - but the winner for me is possibly the long blue coat with that huge feathery hat - such a statement of an outfit. The blue suit with the white hat she wore to Ascot was beautiful too and the white and pink creation she wore to meet the Calendar Girls. The only outfit I've not been overkeen on is the pinky one that she wore to Llandewi Breffi.

i like her style but i think she should stick to warmer colours like the dark pink or cranberry coloured suit in the pics above. the colour is fantastic on her.

IMO I think the duchess looks very elegant, but it also has to do with how happy she is her happiness is evident. I think her style suits her for her age. I think it was said that the hats make you stand out in a crowd hers definitely do.:)

tell me about it! that spiral thing is so weird. it has no connection with the rest of the hat. hopefully it broke off as she got into her car or something.
