The coronation occurred over a month ago and royal watchers are starting to notice that Queen Camilla is elevating her wardrobe for appearances to keep in line with her new role. However, some of those changes might also be a part of publicity strategy to keep her name in the headlines, just like Kate Middleton.
It’s no secret that the Princess of Wales’ fashion statements are regularly covered by the British press, but it was drawing too much attention away from King Charles III. While the palace isn’t offering the designer outfit details on Kate the way they used to, Camilla knows a good PR opportunity when she sees one. The Telegraphnoted that she, along with dresser Jacqui Meakin, are doing some “style tweaks” to her wardrobe as a part of her royal “rebranding.”
That means trying things, like her recent jumpsuit, which reflected how she wanted to style herself “as a modern 75-year-old queen.” It’s not a Queen Elizabeth II type of wardrobe. And she won’t be putting her signature color — cobalt blue — away anytime soon. It’s not only featured in her recent daring style departure in the jumpsuit, but she also loves to wear it in her favorite silhouette, which has a slit neckline. “The deeper the better, especially on a fuller bust and far more flattering on her than a round neck. It’s also excellent for all her lovely necklaces,” designer Fiona Clare told the U.K. outlet.
By changing up her clothing, Queen Camilla is trying to shift the narrative away from the infidelity story that has haunted her for decades. She’s hoping that a chic and elegant outfit or two will make her a British press favorite, much like Kate. It’s going to be hard to overshadow a superstar in the royal family like the Princess of Wales, but Camilla is sure going to try — one royal outfit at a time.
