I disliked today's ensemble too.
Camilla's outfit was a miss today . I know the green coat is seen as her uniform but the hat was way too informal for such an event imo.

I love the dress and I like the cape but I am absolutely with you on the "band". It doesn't seem to be anything to do with the rest of the gown and it certainly doesn't segue effortlessly between lace and satin, in fact it clashes. If I close my eyes I can imagine what a more elegant and less glaring band would have looked like.The gown would be pretty except for the band, the superman cape and the mismatched colors.
She needs to get rid of her 'designer'. The band looks like a back support brace.
Is it too much to ask for a gown without the band?

This ensemble nails it on all levels. It is warm but not mumsy.
Now this is really lovely and, if you are going to have a "band" this is how it's done.March 17, 2015
The satin band across the coat matches the satin band across the gown.

Ah progress, it seems the latest innovations in photography seem to change our perception of colour completely. I am sure that in reality Camilla's evening gown matched where it should match and segued where it should segue. It just doesn't look the same to different people.She appears to have a silver and grey theme going for this tour.
The March 17th arrriving dress is dove grey although looks cream and gold.
The March 18th daytime outfit is a grey dress with a grey and black coat.
The March 18th evening gown is silver lace with silver band and a silver or grey cape. In some pictures the gown looks gold with a cream band and grey cape.
I am not sure if it is taupe, oyster, beige or grey.
The banded theme continues.
Her 'designer' should really take notice of the appearance of the band in photographs. It looks dreadful and not flattering.
Camilla's coat is it grey or beige? If it is beige or taupe then the shoes & purse match.

I love the evening gown. I love it with the band. I would just move the placement of the band down a little bit to get rid of the " back brace" look.The gown would be pretty except for the band, the superman cape and the mismatched colors.

I have to agree with you on this one.I hate this last suit, but all and all I think she looked nice.
Do we think it might be time to start a "Bring Back Anna Valentine" campaign?
It's a matter of taste but i think i like it. Indeed a Bruce Oldfield's signature, it's different but at leat the outfits are nicely cut and the colours are flattering.
She's trying something new. Some posters wanted an "update" (lol) of Camilla, here we are ! (but still, she doesn't seem to get it right apparently).
Amazingly enough, the blue outfit from tle last day in the US is apparently by Dior :
