In time, the British public warmed to her, and she evolved into a royal before our eyes.
Camilla’s life was never the same after meeting King Charlesand the same can be said for her wardrobe.
Her outfits are a world away from the slacker socialite aesthetic she embraced as a young woman.
“I think she’s having fun with it and I think that really shows,” Bowles said.
Since joining the royal family,Camilla has had some iconic fashion moments.
Characterized as a tomboy, the future queen favored blazers and oversized silhouettes that concealed her statuesque figure.
But men were drawn to her refreshingly idiosyncratic persona.
“She was never a girls' girl.
She was always a boy’s girl.”

In 1989, Diana confronted Camilla over her affair with the erstwhile Prince Charles.
“She said to me: ‘You’ve got everything you ever wanted.
The acrimony between the pair escalated in the following years, with both women throwing shade via fashion.
The following year, Camilla put her own spin on Diana’s revenge dress.
But Charles was resolute in his belief that Camilla ought to be treated like any other bride.
The bride wore a simple white dress under a matching coat, accessorized with a Philip Treacy hat.
“She likes to go out without any make-up,” a friend bemoaned to theDaily Mailfollowing the wedding.
But from this moment on, presentation would be central to Camilla’s image.
At the 2012 Commonwealth Day Service, she wore a bright purple ensemble, complete with a matching hat.
This purple coordinate would become a Commonwealth Day tradition for the queen consort.
Namely, she’s often seen fidgeting with the brim of her hat.
“It will be very hard to get out of them again.”
The twee outfit was giving grandma Zooey Deschanel in a good way.
For Clare, dressing the queen was a dream come true.
But as noted in a 2023Vogueprofile, Camilla has come to realize which styles flatter her form.
In doing so, she has found that simplicity is the key to her style.
Subsequently, she eschews ritzy regalia in favor of a no-fuss wardrobe.
Nevertheless, she still knows how to create a “wow” moment.
The neckline is perfect for her, neither too high nor low.”
The queen consort isn’t one to don girly-girl regalia, usually opting for navy and forest greens.
What’s more, her style has evolved into something increasingly regal and refined.
“She has definitely upped the glamour stakes which is befitting of her role as the Queen.”
