Since becoming Queen, Camilla has come into her own sartorially. Her signature style blends timeless tailoring with luxurious finishing touches - think designer handbags, Chanel heels and eye-catching Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery. And the best part? You don't need a royal budget to channel her look. We've created a high street edit so you can effortlessly recreate each outfit. Tropical print dress In her official birthday portrait released yesterday, Camilla wore a tropical print shirt dress by her longtime designer, Fiona Clare. Captured by royal photographer Chris Jackson, the image was taken earlier this month at Ray Mill, her private Wiltshire residence. Beaming in the photo, Camilla dons a mid-length dress adorned with birds and palm tree motifs in vivid blues and greens - an effortlessly summery choice. White dress with contrast stitching For the Thanksgiving Service commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day at Westminster Abbey, Camilla chose a pristine white coat dress by Anna Valentine. She accessorised with a Philip Treacy hat and Eliot Zed shoes. The standout feature? Black blanket stitching, adding a graphic twist to the classic design. The look offered a contemporary edge - demonstrating that Camilla's style is both polished and on point. Blue figure-skimming dress During a visit to HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, Camilla chose a striking cobalt blue Fiona Clare dress. The flattering silhouette featured soft puffed shoulders, embroidered detailing on the bib, and a signature front zip. She teamed the dress with nude Chanel pumps and a raffia clutch by Anya Hindmarch. Pastel pink coat dress On a recent tour of Canada, Camilla embraced soft hues in a pastel pink coat dress by Anna Valentine, first seen at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding. She once again wore her trusted Chanel heels, reinforcing her preference for timeless pieces. While Barbie pink stole the spotlight in summer 2023, this season is all about softer shades like powder pink - captured in Camilla's refined ensemble.

Queen Camilla beams in the sunshine in stunning portrait released by Buckingham Palace to mark her 78th birthday
Queen Camilla was photographed beaming in the sunshine in a stunning new birthday portrait released by Buckingham Palace to mark her 78th birthday tomorrow. Royal photographer Chris Jackson, who also photographed the then-Duchess of Cornwall on her 75th birthday, took the picture earlier this month at Ray Mill - the Queen's private residence in Wiltshire. Camilla is pictured with a big smile on her face as she leans against a fence while enjoying a warm summer day at her home. She opted to wear a bright teal dress with motifs of a colourful bird as the Queen appeared relaxed and happy in her latest portrait. She is wearing the same Fiona Clare dress in an earlier image released by the Royal Family on July 14 - three days before her birthday. In that photo, the King's wife was seen cuddling her sweet rescue dog, Jack Russell-cross Moley, in the garden of her Wiltshire home. Camilla, who often repurposes her outfits for different occasions, also picked the striking maxi dress for the final day of the King and Queen's state visit to Kenya in 2023. For her birthday portrait, Camilla opted to keep her makeup light and dewy as she wore a hint of blusher, a light coat of mascara, and a swipe of pink lip gloss. She also kept her accessories to a minimum, with Camilla opting to wear a stack of rings - including her five-carat engagement ring from King Charles - and a pair of gold earrings. The release of her birthday portrait comes after Camilla unveiled a new dog garden at the Battersea animal shelter in central London, which was thought to have been originally created this year's Chelsea Flower Show by broadcaster and gardening expert, Monty Don. The outdoor space was designed in collaboration with the RHS and BBC Radio 2 and was gifted to the animal charity to help provide a calming environment for canines. Camilla fastened a sweet Terrier badge to her chest to honour her visit to the animal shelter, which cares for strays and abandoned pets. The Queen rescued Jack Russell-cross, Moley, from Battersea earlier this year when she was just eight weeks old. It's understood that Moley is a female and was born on Boxing Day and her mother is half Jack Russell, half unknown - while her father's breed is also unknown. It's thought Moley lives at Rat Hill, Queen Camilla's private Wiltshire residence, although it's expected she'll accompany the royal couple when they stay at official royal residences. The Queen revealed the happy news as she affectionately stroked a guide dog while meeting a partially-sighted museum group in the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge located in the centre of Canterbury's bustling high street in February. 'I've just got a new puppy, he's eight-weeks old,' she told owner Susan Mason, 66, who is partially-sighted. When Ms Mason asked what breed she is, the Queen laughed and said: 'You may well ask, a bit of everything. It's a rescue dog. It's called Moley - it looks just like a mole.' She has been patron of Battersea since 2017 and had a tour around the new garden, which has shady spots for pooches to cool down from the sun, along with grass and also sensory elements with the aim of helping them de-stress. One day before her birthday, Camilla appeared in high spirits as she attended a garden party at HMNB Devonport on Wednesday to honour her new position as Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom. The royal attended the event in Plymouth, which marked the end of HMS Astute's first commission - the longest first commission of any Royal Navy submarine in history - at over 15 years. Camilla - who has become the first female Vice Admiral of the UK - put her best fashion foot forward in a sapphire pleated blue dress which fell elegantly to her ankles and paired the stunning ensemble with her trusty nude and black heels, pearl earrings and a classy gold brooch.
