CAMILLA'S LACY NUMBER POPS UP AGAIN

Taking a page from the book of royals such as Princess Anne, who has no qualms about being seen in the same outfit twice, Camilla Parker Bowles has shown she can get plenty of mileage from a single gown.

Prince Charles' companion wore a stunning cream-coloured lace dress as she stepped out for the Prince's Trust star-studded Shakespeare charity gala at the Globe Theatre in London this week.

And though some may have thought it was a case of déjà vu, fashionistas with a keen eye knew they'd seen the outfit more than once in the past.

The 56-year-old has sported the gown - along with its matching coat and handbag - on at least five occasions in the past three years, including her recent appearance alongside the Prince of Wales at the Salzburg Festival in Austria. The dress had made its debut at a London birthday party in 2000.

It remains to be seen if the Shakespeare fest was the end of the road for the lacy garment, or if eagle-eyed royal watchers will spot the dress a sixth time round.
