Queen Camilla has long been a fan of Fiona Clare’s designs, much like another go-to designer Anna Valentine. The queen consort’s style consistently marries her signature column dress silhouette with long sleeves with playful patterns and vibrant hues.
Throughout her husband, King Charles III’s reign, Queen Camilla has consistently demonstrated confidence in her style. Although the silhouette of her dresses seldom alters, the queen consort is rarely opposed to toying with pattern, color, accessories or even repurposing some of her favorite pieces by her most reliable designers.
