I think the dress and hat were fine, but don't understand the beige shoes. They should have been black.

Her hair is fine. The outfit is fine, but the shoes and the handbag, do not go in the least. Like she couldn't find shoes, so she grabbed these?

Camilla prefers to wear comfortable shoes. She suffers from heat and humidity, so old, trusty shoes is best choice for her.

I don't think the beige shoes and bags were about comfort; I think she was just tring to use a contrasting colour to offset the starkness of the monochrome dress. I am sure the Duchess may have the odd pair of comfortable black shoes!

During all visit she wore only two pairs of shoes. Off cause, it's about comfort.

How many beige or tan coloured shoes might you expect her to carry?

Very pretty (minus the platinum blond). The dress is perfect for her.

They got the waistline right this time! Great color on her, too. I had never noticed it before, but the Duchess has nice collarbone structure.

I think for the first time throughout this trip Camilla is looking good at the dinner. I'm glad she pulled out her favorite tiara The Boucheron.

The style is perfect for the Duchess and the colour is flattering too.

I liked the tiara and hairstyle. The dress per se is all right. However, the upper part appears to be unflattering, saggy. The tanned makeup/tan(?) is terrible.

Get out the ruler - this is the least sag we have ever seen from the Duchess. Good for her!
