  3. Une grande palette de robes - Mon choix est vite fait en portant mon regard sur celle de la duchesse de Gloucester qui sait toujours être élégante après avoir sorti les bijoux pour les harmoniser avec sa tenue !

    Oh boy that gold rose top in the last photo is quite the fashion statement. Good on her that she has the confidence to wear it.

    @anon 20:12 The event was for Cancer Charities! The lady in gold is obviously showing what can be worn (if one is brave enough) after a mastetcomy, look at the display on the table.

    I’m not always a fan of what QC wears,but she does know what works for her. The dresses are always just over the knee. The cut is to showcase her trim figure. I wish Duchess Sophie would dress with a similar mindset.Find a style that suits your frame and colors that elevate you,and you see a perfectly turned well put together individual! Brava Camilla you ticked all the boxes! 👍
    Lowri.

  10. Wonderful event for King Charles and Queen Camilla to host. I like this dress from a distance—the close up of the fabric looks a bit pyjamas like! Nice that the Duchess of York, another cancer survivor, was there too. The Duchess of Gloucester looks terrific as usual.
