Camilla Dazzles in Bright Purple at Armistice Centenary
Hey there! Picture this—Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, stepped out recently for a special event marking the Centenary of the Armistice at Westminster Abbey. Now, here’s the kicker—she didn’t exactly look like her usual self. No, instead, she seemed to channel none other than Queen Elizabeth herself! Her look? A vibrant purple coat paired with a stylish feathered hat that caught everyone’s eye. It was as if she was saying, "Hey, I’m here to honor tradition, but I’m doing it with a splash of color!"
Now, if you’ve been following Camilla’s style over the years, you know she often leans toward softer, more muted tones for her public appearances. Take, for example, her powder pink gown at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding back in May. Or how about that baby blue dress with a hint of cotton candy pink at Kate Middleton and Prince William’s 2011 wedding? But this time, she went bold, and it was a real showstopper.
Queen Elizabeth's Influence on Camilla's Style
It’s pretty clear that Camilla’s recent wardrobe choices have been heavily inspired by Queen Elizabeth. The Queen has long been a fan of bright, bold colors, and there’s a reason for that. She wants to make sure that, no matter where she is, people can spot her in a crowd. And let me tell you, it works! Over the years, her vibrant outfits have made her instantly recognizable. Sophie, Countess of Wessex, even talked about the Queen's style in the documentary The Queen at 90.

“The Queen needs to stand out so that people can say, ‘I saw the Queen.’ You’ve got to remember, when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are often two, three, four, even 15 deep. Someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the Queen’s hat as she went past,” Sophie explained. It’s all about visibility and making sure everyone gets a chance to see her, even from a distance.
Why the Hats? It's All About Visibility
Caroline de Guitaut, the curator at the Royal Collection Trust, shared some fascinating insights with The New York Times about the Queen’s hats. “They enable people who want to catch a glimpse of her to spot her immediately. Almost every hat she wears is strategic, ensuring her face is fully visible but also framed in a range of styles over the years that were often considered very avant-garde for their day,” Caroline revealed. It’s not just about fashion—it’s about making sure the Queen stands out in any crowd. And let me tell you, she’s mastered that art!
So, whether you're a fan of royal fashion or just appreciate a good style statement, it's clear that Queen Elizabeth has set the bar high. And now, it seems Camilla is taking a page from her style book, proving that sometimes, bold is best!
