The royal looked elegant in a teal coat dress by Bruce Oldfield adorned with ornate gold buttons, and slipped into her favourite 'Gladys' black suede pumps from Eliot Zed. All eyes were on her stunning brooch, however, that has enchanted royal fans.
The Queen Consort elevated her look with a stunning Bouton d'or Ballerina Clip in 18K yellow gold from Van Cleef & Arpels.

The delicate brooch, which costs £72,000 ($85,000), depicts a dancing figure crafted from gold, dressed in a lapis lazuli and turquoise skirt adorned with diamonds.
The piece is believed to be a new one in Camilla's royal jewellery collection, marking a heartfelt nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II's former role as patron of the RAD.

Camilla's 'Bouton d'or Ballerina' brooch isn't the only showstopping pin from the French jewellers in her collection. The royal is also in possession of another ballerina brooch encrusted with diamonds and rubies.
The first versions of the piece were made in New York in 1940. Camilla's particular pin appears to be part of the Ballet Précieux High Jewellery collection of 2007, which marked 40 years of the London Royal Ballet.
