Does Camilla have to wear all white to UK state dinners?
The white on top black on bottom evening gown that she wore to the coronation in the Netherlands was exquisite.

Also please tell me what do court shoes and court dress mean in 2016.

I love the tiara. It fits the shape or her head and her hair. I would wear it all the time☀️

Lovely look at the dinner but, I can hardly believe I am saying this, I am heartily sick of that white court dress, it should be saved for the annual Opening of Parliament and new and colourful gala gowns debuted. But what is worse . . . the Bucheron is fast becoming pedestrian!


I whole heartedly agree. Sadly, like the Opening of Parliament, the State banquets now appear to have a 'uniform' for the senior British royals. Camilla used to spring a few surprises - especially with her jewellery. I can't see things will change during the remaining years of HM's reign. It struck me from looking at the video clips there is, understandably, a very tired and perfunctory appearance to the whole occasion.

I was not sure about the shoes at first but have talked myself into them. She could wear this color a lot more often IMO.
 
I like the whole outifit and I think that shade of blue suits Camilla a lot.
 
I really like this look on Camilla. The color suits her:flowers:
 
I think Camilla's quite fond of parasols (which are dainty and lovely items IMHO.) I've seen her carrying them several times before.
 
:previous: I love Camilla's touring wardrobe for hot climates. She has really settled into a look that she likes and looks great on her. The use of a parasol instead of a sun hat is inspired. A hat just wouldn't look right with her wardrobe but the parasol adds a wonderful note of distinction. Better yet, it looks wonderfully comfortable and, most important of all, it gives a nod to the dress of women in these countries and offends no one.

This first one is gorgeous, blue but not an insipid pastel and she's rocking it:

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen her wear any insipid colours. I wonder if we will see some of her previous 'go to' ensembles?

She even has evening attire to suit:

I noticed that she seems to be able to relate more easily to both men and women even where the strictest of abayas and niqabs are worn, which is an added bonus. Her respect for their culture makes it easier to share and Charles seems to wander ahead quite comfortable in the knowledge that Camilla is happily doing her thing, as is he, and doesn't require his presence to function very well thank you.

She really does have great taste in looks for thes hotter climates. The light pastille colors and the flowing outfits really suit her. The first look is my favorite but the all blue is quite lovely too. I love her accessories too :flowers:
 
Liking Camilla's very relaxed wear on these tours. I think The Queen would also look good in a wardrobe like this too.
 
Such great clothes for Camilla on the tour. I really like he color of the day outfit:flowers:

I really love the evening detail. The gold detail is beautiful
 
Again great flows casual outfit for the climate. The parasol I am coming to love:flowers:
 
:previous: I don't actually see these ensembles as "casual" but rather a sedate but elegant nod to the countries they are visiting. Everyone's sensibilities have been taken into consideration and Camilla wears some stunning colour combinations.

As to the parasol, I fell in love with it the first time she used it. A hat is neither practical nor proper in the situations she is in and when she needs shade she has her parasols and if she needs her head covered she has her lovely long floaty scarves.
 
I'm loving all of her outfits on this tour. Comfortable yet classic and appropriate. The colors are wonderful. And adored seeing her shopping at the market, that must have been a ton of fun. Wonder if she purchased anything??
 
According to the DM they bought a cushion and some Russian style dolls:)

Another lovely flows outfit, pretty shade of pink on her. I even like her clutch. :flowers:
 
I agree !!! Duchess to all this tour was perfect dressed!!!
 
I still have to get used to that type of shoes since they are not my cup of tea, but the rest of the look is simply gorgeous imo.
