Is this ensemble emerging as Camilla's new favourite?

Is this ensemble emerging as Camilla's new favourite?

It's a lovely outfit, so I could get behind that!

 

[MARG]

Me too and I like the barely black stockings worn for an indoor (if you don't count meeting the Reindeer) occasion. Heavy tights don't flatter with court shoes.

For the cape.

I'm not a huge fan of the color blocking on the coat, although the color is nice, but I love Camilla's two accessories! It's hard to upstage royalty, but they managed without any difficulty at all. And doesn't Camilla look happy!

It's great to see Camilla again. She looks wonderful in tartan.

The coart looks nice, but I have never been a fan of the blouse

This is *not* one of Camilla's better looks. I like the color and I like the tights and shoes but the top is just all wrong around the waist. It tends to accentuate an older woman's midsection more than it enhances it.

Its the first thing I noticed because, frankly, my midsection isn't anything to write home about either and this kind of top sends me back to the closet after looking in the mirror.

I am afraid this, and a few similar ensembles, are a legacy of her Bruce Oldfield years in between. I think she is now safely back with Anna Valentine, so normal order has been restored.

 

[Osipi]

Thanks for the info, Muriel. ?

I really love this color on her! And I actually like the jacket on its own. But I agree something about the fit doesn’t sit quite right.

 

[Ista]

I'll volunteer to be the outlier. I actually like this. Although it isn't a favorite, I like the color on Camilla, and although the cut of the jacket doesn't give her a wasp waist, she at least looks like she has a waist. Camilla also has lovely legs, and the shape of the skirt highlights that.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

I like this look from Camilla too. The colour is gorgeous on her and I agree that the cut makes her look very elegant.

 

[MARG]

I saw a news clip and I have to admit it looks 100% better than those photos. That being said, I thought she looked really good, had an absolute blast dancing and I loved her very, very, elegant green handbag. It suited both the ensemble and her very well as indeed does the colour.

Isn't economy a blast? Surprises in store for everyone.

 

[Countessmeout]

The color is great and the style actually suits her

But this particular one doesn't fit perfectly. She has at least one similar one that looks better/fits better.

I like the added pop of color of a scarf.

 

[Osipi]

What I love about Camilla most is her down to earth way of approaching things. I don't think it matters that each article of clothing she wears is exactly right and has the right label or such. I am tending to believe that with Camilla, clothes are something you wear and get on with things.

I do tend to like her outfits best when she's on tour in a warmer climate. Those just seem to flow around her.

 

[MARG]

I can't help wondering if her perfect green suit with matching black gloves and boots, practical as may be, with it's little "pop" of colour in her lovely scar.

Question: did she purchase exactly the same handbag as Meghan when there is a range of at least sixteen colours to choose from on that style alone or, was she loaned her beautiful green handbag.

That particular style really does look terrific with her ensemble with the greens differing only by material and texture. More Importantly, it gives the whole ensemble a lift and gives it an ageless look.

 

[Osipi]

Maybe Meghan and Camilla did lunch and shopped together and got the same bag because they both liked it. Or... one lady purchased it and they agreed to share it. Then again, it could have been a coinky dink. Shows they both have good taste though.

The mystery deepens.

I love that raspberry colour on her. I always think she looks her best in fresh, bright shades.

 

[MARG]

Indeed she does look good and, I love her small handbag. It's so much more practical than very small or large flat clutch bags. They all belong with eveningwear, these bags are perfect . . . not too big and not too small.

 

[Countessmeout]

Looks lovely in such a bright fresh color

 

[muriel]

I love that raspberry colour on her. I always think she looks her best in fresh, bright shades.

The coat and dress combination, always worn together, must be around 10 years old. I think the colour really works well for her.

It's so much more practical than very small or large flat clutch bags. They all belong with eveningwear, these bags are perfect . . . not too big and not too small.

Practical is a relative comment: a royal's definition of practical may be very different from yours or mine. If you are a royal lady, what do you really need to carry in your handbag?

 

[MARG]

Camilla doesn't appear to travel with a LIW and I noticed the last time sh used a flatish clutch. I am picking lipstick, compact, handkerchief, foldable comb or brush, mints and her wallet. Camilla always seems to buy something at Country Fairs, stalls or Fundraisers. HM carries money for church and a bag hook and who knows what Catherine or Meghan have.
