Camilla and Charles were joined by the Commonwealth Heads of Government at the Marriott Hotel on 24 June, and the Duchess ensured she stood out from the crowd in her eye-catching frock.

For example, Duchess Camilla has previously paired it with a glittering turquoise gown and tiara for a CHOGM Dinner back in 2013.
After Charles posted a photo of the couple at the dinner on their official Instagram account, fans rushed to compliment Camilla's outfit. "Our beloved Duchess was radiant," wrote one, and another added: "Camilla looks stunning in that cobalt blue gown. One of her best evening wear looks so far!"

A third remarked: "Camilla looks absolutely fantastic, gorgeous, elegant," while a fourth penned: "The Duchess looked stunning last night. The Garter Star suits her perfectly."
The gown is the same one she recently wore for her photoshoot with Vogue to mark her 75th birthday. At the time, she told the magazine that her evening dress by Bruce Oldfield Couture was taken from her own wardrobe.
