Queen Camilla had a stunning sartorial start to King Charles III’s reign on Saturday, and continued her fashion reign for Sunday night’s star-studded coronation concert held in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The Queen looked radiant in a royal blue coat dress, accessorising her look with a matching clutch bag and gold drop earrings.

Queen Camilla opted for a fresh beauty look for evening, with a soft pink lip and her signature blonde hair flip.

Underneath, the Queen wore a specially-embroidered dress by Bruce Oldfield –one of her favourite designers – featuring intricate silver and gold embroidery which paid tribute to the United Kingdom – but also had a poignant personal nod to the Queen’s children, grandchildren and beloved dogs.

Also sweetly represented were the two terriers that the King and Queen adopted in 2017 from Battersea Dogs' and Cats' Home, Beth and Bluebell.

The beautifully crafted coat dress featured traditional motifs to honour the country, including flowers from the UK's four nations: a shamrock, daffodil, thistle and rose. Also painstakingly etched into the silk gown were floral designs of forget-me-nots, daisies and scarlet pimpernel.
