I understand why she chooses burgundy velvet, but there are other colors and fabrics one can wear with rubies. Sometimes, her choices are a bit too easy for my taste.

Firstly, in my mind, Camilla is not one to be particularly fashion forward. Secondly, in this case, I think this is a reconditioned gown from 2007, so she did not bother getting a new one.

I think the rubies would have shown better with a contrasting color. I think she wears burgundy because it matches the rubies and is a good color for her.

I, instead, like the cream outfit! I like how the lines suits her body shape... Not a fan of that velvet? dark color... I think it's too "heavy".

I like the cream suit, particularly the skirt. The scarf and boots are great too. I wish we could see the earrings.

I see 2 dresses. I think in Philadelphia she had different undergarments.

I hope a photograph will miraculously appear of the Duchess at tonights State Banquet in honour of the President of Mexico..
It drives me MAD that the Palace doesn't release photographs of guests, other than the principal players and their spouses !

I can be wrong but i think Camilla was indeed there in a white dress worn last year in the State opening of Parliament (judging by the sight of one shoulder next to the Mexican President lol).

Hmm, darn, to late to correct, however, I definitely see three and I too dislike 3. I probably wouldn't mind it if it were the only one, but the other two are just so much different, I think because they are such a better cut and style for her.
As to her cream and black trimmed suit, I like it, especially with her lovely boots. It looks dressy but warm, and that's what counts.

It's one of the frustrations I have with the palace. I just don't think they handle photographs of events like this well.

I'm definitely thinking there are three!
