The Duchess of Cornwall's Fashion and Style Part 4: March 2012 - November 2012

[Frelinghighness]

In the threesome picture, I thought Camilla looked the best. Love her hat, the color, and the choker.

[MARG]

Wow! Camilla looks amazing! I love the way she has teamed a creamy white dress with a blush coat. Her hat is her signature "Picture Hat" style and it's colour enhances the colour of the coat and highlights her amazing pink topaz choker.

Full image of Camilla's outfit.
I liked it back from Pageant, I like it now.
Even the hat has grown on me, although I generally prefer her usual style of headgear.

[Nico]

Well it's some kind of a tradition for the DOC to use again an outfit recently worn for Ascot. Last year it was Will and Kate wedding number and this year the pageant one. I expect to see the jubilee service glorious golden coat in few weeks, if not days...

I liked the outfit she wore for the Pageant, so I'm glad she's recycling it. It looks very elegant and classy.

Hope this helps; this is the grand dame of her chokers, as far as I'm concerned. I am just in love with her Order of the Garter outfit; she's wearing that hat I just die for and the combination of white, pastels and rosy pink of the hat and the pink topaz is just coordination at its best. I don't care how many times she repeats this outfit; this is a total winner in my books. And I have to agree that out of the triumverate, Camilla rocked!

It helps-- Big time! I agree that this choker is her best!! It would be difficult for her to look better than this..

[agogo]

She consistently looks lovely but I don't favor hats that partially cover her face.

Oh thank you. I agree she really looked great in that pic. Everything worked, right down to the shoes. She totally rocked out! I actually can't stop looking at that picture. That choaker really is terrific.

Thank you for the close-up of the chocker . It's a gorgeous piece of jewelry.

Definitely, totally, 100% agree.
This ensemble - every element of it - just totally works for me.

She looks wonderful!

This snapshot is the triumph of the photographer. Whoever it was got the f-stop just right - to put it in antique terms. Camilla is particularly reaping the benefits of the photographer - the softness of the blush is heightened.

There is another snap of her in this outfit with another hat that has a rose color that fits this over-coat's color perfectly. I love this coat - does anyone know whose coat it is - where one can purchase it? Look at those sleeves - it looks like a very comfy piece of wardrobe - the kind of piece you gladly reach for.

I've been noticing the re-cycle of clothes has become more obvious with royal ladies recently - in all countries, not just Britain. They may have always done it - but they are doing the re-cycle far more rapidly, making it obvious. In these economic times, I wonder if this is a nod to the economic realities most people are living with. Hence, a more overt message that one is being thrifty. An idea.

[Queen Camilla]

I think Camilla has been thrifty since her honeymoon. I really wish she would increase her wardrobe. I've seen her wear the dress two days in a row with a different jacket on top.

I like the matching shoes on the Windsor wives.

Totally agree,and I would love to know who the photographer was.

- Complete outfit 2 (where you can properly see the colour of the jacket)

Oh, and I absolutely adore her pink topaz choker - my favourite from her (impressive) collection.

Thank you for posting. I love the first picture especially.

I think all three of the Royal Ladies looked wonderful in their outfits. That colour/pastel tone really suits Camilla.

I agree with the other posters - I love her chokers. Does anyone know if it is the same necklace with the stone interchanged (like the Queen does with some of her tiaras) or are they completely different?

Camilla did indeed look lovely at the Garter ceremony.

As far as I know, the chokers are all different necklaces

The chokers are completely different.
We are having a bit of discussion on that very topic in Camilla's Jewellery thread.
Have a look at these posts (post 1, post 2); they should answer your question.
