The slightly darker embossed/brocade dress with it's counterpoint of a lighter plain coat is quite striking. Each sets the other off quite brilliantly. I adore her wonderful hat, an honest to God hat, and what a beauty it is with its gorgeous fluff and feather embellishment. The way it's colour segues effortlessly into the coat and the coat to the dress is just lovely.

I would love to browse through her hat & jewellery wardrobe,she has worn some very interesting & elegant pieces since she has married Prince Charles  |
Me too! But my absolute favorite jewels are, of course, her earrings (which seem to be her favourite too). They seem to go with everything!

I think it was a splendid outfit.
And the hat proves that that sort of cluster of squashed birds arrangement can look just fine when worn on a nice, large, hat, rather than just pinned to the side of the head as a "fascinator".

She looks fine. Too bad she can't own a second pair of shoes.

It's the type of outfit that I would expect Camilla to wear. She looks lovely in soft colors.

I don't love senior citizen ladies in unrelieved white, especially with the silver hair. Not just Camilla, but QE as well. It's not flattering, and looks too bridal IMHO, on a woman of 60+.

I think Camila looked just fine at Trooping the Colour. She appeared elegant and appropriate, which is what one would want from a lady in her position.

IT wasnt unrelieved white although in some pictures it seems so. There is embellishment on the sleeves and collar. Im having probs finding a decent picture. Here is a good look at the sleeves
Camilla Parker Bowles Photos - Diamond Jubilee - Thames River Pageant - Zimbio
I really like this look. Amongst all the uniforms, light colours go so well.

Her hat
This board is not shy about criticizing/critiquing hats. I haven't noticed a single comment about Camilla's hat. It looked as though she had several hats on, one atop the other. She has some really beautiful hats- I wonder why she chose this oddball one yesterday?

Perhaps because of it's relative simplicity, so as not to overdo the silvery trims on her sleeves and collar??

Because she wore the same ensemble last year or maybe, surprise, she likes it ...

She looks really good in turquoise blue. I just don't like that large bunch of feathers stuck on the side of her hat. Her dress and coat are really beautiful.

What a lovely choice! Camila looked perfect from head to toe; elegant, and sophisticated.
