On September 4, 2025, Queen Camilla joined pupils from Dulwich Village Infant School to open the new Artplay Pavilion and Sculpture Garden at Dulwich Picture Gallery in London. The gallery, which first opened to the public more than 200 years ago as the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery, now features a new sculpture garden that is free to access. On this occasion, the Queen wore a black and white dress by Fiona Clare.
Signature style, lovely print looks nice on her
ReplyDeleteI really like the print on this dress, and the skirt seems to have great movement. It looks like Q. Camilla is wearing slightly higher heels than usual. The whole look is fresh with a bit of fun for the event. Very interesting necklace.
ReplyDeleteThis dress suits her well, the skirt of the dress, has nice movement, love the color and design of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteNeeds better foundation garments: she looks roly and lumpy. Earrings look nice.(Tara)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the queen seems to have put on weight, which suits her, but the clothes and undergarments have to be adapted.

Agree I have been saying this for a long time.
DeleteTara and Virginia … she’s 78. You’re just allowed to be who you are by that age, and we get to wonder at her energy and grace in carrying out this role that came so late in her life! I think she looks splendid and I LOVE seeing her interaction with the kids!
DeleteOne of the reasons I don't like collars: if opened, they tend to look disorderly/messy, which is the case here. What do we need them for, anyway ... to make necks shorter, what they are anyway in older age? I cannot think of anything positive open shirt collars offer. - I think with this beautiful silky fabric the design has to be taken care of - or the other way round, if it has to be this design, then not made of silk. Because the skirt swishes are beautiful, but the extreme lightness and clinginess of the fabric shows everywhere else, like the collar and all around around the waist too.
ReplyDeleteI feel that collars frame the face. In this case the fabric is soft so additional dressmaking techniques could be used to ensure it stays in place.
Delete8:10 you’ve made me think about collars for the first time ever. What IS their purpose? I love the thought of the next commenter that they may frame the face. The only other reason I can think of - apart from the fact that they are simple a fashion idea - is when you turn a collar up to protect you’re neck when out in the sun.
DeleteHM looks beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteTrès joli l'imprimé de cette robe dont la fluidité convient à ravir à Camilla ; ses chaussures à talons ont été bien choisies !
ReplyDeleteQueen Camilla has the comfy, homely look of an upper crust British woman but not a queen. She often dresses like she’s going out for brunch with society ladies, but not the elegance of a monarch.
