  1. Very nice color. Also, nice blouse just not a fan of the style. I also think regular color stockings would have been better. This is OMO.

    1. Fashion is fickle and our fashion ideas so interesting and opposite! I really love black stockings once it starts getting cold. And I myself wouldn’t choose this blouse pattern as I don’t like animal prints (except on animals where I like them very much). But I really love the idea of pinafore dresses which can have different tops under them. I think I would have paired this one with a crisp white blouse. That said, the print she has does go very well with the green and black for an English autumnal literary eve.

  2. The blouse is fashionable this autumn - winter. The green dress worn over the blouse has a beautiful fashionable color but doesn't look good worn over the blouse. The brown shoes do not match the black stockings. The blackjacket worn on top of all that d.oesn't look good. The styling is very bad either

    1. With all due respect, the styling is not “very bad”, but possibly, not to your taste. Taken as a whole, the colours from top to toe coordinate very well. I think her choices are very appropriate for her age, position and for a literary evening. These are authors, not fashionistas, and Camilla is very approachable and “with them” if you look to other photos of the group she spent the evening with. She is approaching 80 and doing a marvellous job, and grew up in a different era from many who comment here. Her style may be different from your preferences, but it is not “very bad”.

      Always talking about her age and position. Look at Queen Silvia of Sweden or Princess Benedikte of Denmark or Queen Sonja of Norway, that are royal ladies with style. The times Queen Camilla was dressed stylish, I can count on the fingers of one of my hands.I also am approaching 80, but even if you would give me money to wear the same clothes as Queen Camilla is wearing here, I would refuse. And my age and position forbid me to dress like that. The people who know me would ask me what's happening if I wore such a ridiculous outfit.

  3. I like the green dress, the blouse, I am not a fan of, not with this dress. The sleeveless jacket looks good and she wears this well with the dress. Is she wearing black tights and brown shoes?

  4. I like the cape, it is coat length and without the sleeves it fits over any dress. As far as this combination goes, not to my taste, it looks so old fashion. Looked better with the cape on.

  5. Great autumnal green on the Queen. Also like that there’s a patterned on the blouse, which makes it miles more interesting than a plain color. She must have a wicked sense of humor and it’s so fun to see photos with everyone having some fun.

  6. De tout cet ensemble, c'est le chemisier aux couleurs automnales qui a ma préférence mais à ne pas porter avec ce style de robe verte sans manches !

  7. I like her supporting literature very much and I like her contagious smile and all the signs that she has excellent humour. But I find that dark green is very very bad with brown. If the shoes were brown, it is less of a problem, but brown animal print with dark green is really bad for me and the combination with black does not make it more enjoyable. I mean, green and black, OK. But that brown animal print ... no. (One plus: the blouse does not have a frilly neck like her white blouses with frill.) Black tights: no problem here, why not. Soon you'll all complain about her boots, so enjoy the boot-less time until then :-)
