Queen Camilla Styles Boden for Reception in London

Often styled in dresses by Fiona Clare Aldridge and Anna Valentine, the U.K.’s queen consort opted for something new. Queen Camilla wore a smocked jersey shirtdress in Merida red with a decorative blossom pattern.

Despite being a different brand than the British royal family member often wears, elements of her style remained consistent. The midi dress featured a sharp collar and dark buttons down the front placket of the bodice of the dress.

A smocked bodice gave the dress a slight casual bent, while the flowing midi skirt complemented Queen Camilla. A cinched waist added further silhouette definition.

The U.K.’s queen consort added a pair of neutral suede pumps to her attire, and favored gold jewelry pieces — including her usual Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets. During the event Queen Camilla chatted with Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton — a longtime dog lover who published his 2024 memoir “Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life” about his beloved cocker spaniel.

Queen Camilla’s Boden selection is a departure from her usual royal wardrobe. The queen consort regularly cycles throughout new and reworn pieces by Anna Valentine and Fiona Clare Aldridge, both based in the U.K.

Boden, a British label, might be a fresh inclusion into the British royal family member’s royal wardrobe, especially with the 2026 summer season just around the corner.
