Queen Camilla was the picture of elegance as she and King Charles arrived in a flash of light bulbs at the Kenyan state banquet on Tuesday night.
Arriving on the red carpet, Her Majesty, 76, opted for a blue tunic top and palazzo-style trousers by her go-to designer, Anna Valentine.
The Queen styled her feathered bob in her signature wavy blow-dry, and accessorised with sentimental jewels.
Camilla sported a diamond elephant bracelet and a necklace and a diamond Van Cleef & Arpels snake necklace which once belonged to her grandmother.
The couple dined on an eight-course menu including Malindi lobster and seared seafood ravioli flavoured bisque, pan-seared salmon with Champagne Beurre Blanc and a dessert platter, including mini portions of Kenyan and British-inspired honey cake.

Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Kenya, 1952

The then Princess Elizabeth, aged 25, and Prince Philip stopped in the East Africa country on their way to Australia and New Zealand.
On 6 February, the couple had just returned to Sagana Lodge, after a night spent at the Treetops Hotel.
Elizabeth's father King George VI died in the night at Sandringham House, Norfolk and 4,000 miles away, Philip broke the news to his wife.
Just hours later, the pair were on a plane on their way back to London, where the Princess set foot on UK soil for the first time as Queen.
On 8 February 1952, Elizabeth II was formally proclaimed Queen at a meeting of the Accession Council at St James's Palace. Her coronation later took place at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953.
Earlier in the day, Charles and Camilla were warmly greeted by Kenya's President William Ruto and his wife First Lady Rachel Ruto at the State House in Nairobi.
The Queen began her first day of engagements in a white Anna Valentine crepe silk dress and Queen Elizabeth II's diamond oyster brooch.

Camilla also showcased her travel style as the royal family's Instagram account shared a rare video of Charles and Camilla intently reading through their briefs onboard RAF Voyager on their flight to Nairobi on Monday. Take a look in the clip below...
The Queen opted for a business-casual look in a tailored navy trouser suit layered over a V-neck knit jumper and crisp white shirt.
And in the clip, she also appeared to be barefoot, wearing nothing but what appeared to be black compression socks.
