The Queen recently made two public appearances in one day, and fashion enthusiasts couldn’t help but notice a certain detail in her style choices. Known for her sophistication and elegance, Queen Camilla stunned onlookers with her unconventional fashion statement. The royal was spotted in Swindon wearing a tan brushed coat with stitching detailing and paired it with a khaki green round neck jumper and a red tartan pleated skirt. While the outfit itself exuded the traditional country chic look, it was the choice of footwear that caught everyone’s attention – a pair of over-the-knee black suede boots by Russell and Bromley.
As the Queen stepped out, her hair perfectly styled in her signature blow-dry, and her makeup kept simple with the trendy overlined lip look and a touch of mascara, one detail stood out among her jewelry choices. Camilla wore her favorite ‘Vintage Alhambra 5 Motifs 18-carat Yellow Gold & Agate Bracelet’ by Van Cleef & Arpels, a brand frequently worn by aristocracy. However, eagle-eyed spectators may have noticed a rather unusual detail – Camilla was wearing mismatched earrings. On her right side, she donned a gold statement earring with diamond chips, while on the other side, she opted for a pearl drop earring. This departure from her usual choice of coordinated jewelry was unexpected and broke traditional style norms.
Exploring the Queen’s Itinerary
Camilla’s busy day included a visit to a refuge center, where she met Richard Deacon, the managing director of Deacon & Son Jewellers. The jeweler is celebrating an impressive 175 years of trading. During her visit, Camilla had the opportunity to try on a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, showing her interest in luxurious timepieces. Later, she visited the workshop of Deacon & Son Jewellers, where traditional craftsmanship is employed in the creation and repair of clocks, watches, and jewelry. As the Queen continued her journey through the streets of Swindon, well-wishers lined the route, many holding out cards and messages of support for the King, who will soon undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
A Regal Fashion Statement
This recent outing was not the first time Camilla made a splash with her fashion choices. Just days before, she inaugurated the new ‘Safe Space’ at Aberdeen Art Gallery in Scotland. She wore a caramel-colored checked dress coat by Roy Allen paired with the same suede boots from Russell and Bromley, and completed the look with the ‘Mini Venice Bag in Forest Grain’ by Demellier London. Prior to that, for a special occasion, the Queen paired the stylish boots with an aquamarine Bruce Oldfield tweed dress coat during the New Year’s Eve Mattins service at the Church of St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham estate. She accessorized with a black leather clutch by Anna Valentine x Charles Laurie, leather gloves, and a stunning flower-adorned hat by Philip Treacy.
While the Queen’s fashion choices may raise a few eyebrows among traditionalists, it is important to appreciate how fashion evolves with time. Far from being a fashion faux pas, Camilla’s unconventional style choices reflect a modern and daring approach to regal fashion. In an era of breaking norms and expressing individuality, the Queen’s unique fashion statements undoubtedly capture the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide. She effortlessly combines traditional and contemporary elements, proving that fashion is a form of self-expression even for the royal family. Who knows what stylish surprises the Queen will bring to future public appearances?
