and King Charles have been on their joint four-day state visit in Italy this week, with the Queen looking as stylish as ever for the various engagements. While we've seen her in a range of hues, from navy to bright green to crisp white, she has stuck to her go-to flattering dress shape.
Camilla is a fan of a fit-and-flare style, favouring dresses with a more fitted upper body and a flared skirt, generally in a classic block colour with long or three-quarter length sleeves, often with a slight v-neckline. We tend to see her in flattering midi lengths that fall just below the knee.
On Monday, she was pictured in a version of her tried-and tested look, as she . She opted for a chic navy Fiona Clare design. As well as being in her trusted silhouette, the dress by the British designer featured striking embellishment on the bodice, elevating the already stylish look.
Later that day, she opted for a dress in a similar fit for her , taken outside Villa Wolkonsky, the ambassador's residence where the royal couple are staying for the duration of their trip. This time it was a white frock by London-based atelier Anna Valentine.
On Tuesday evening, she also chose the designer - and the same dress style - for a lavish reception for the British-Italian community in Rome. Camilla wore a striking bright green dress in silk crepe, which she accessorised with a silver diamond brooch.
If you like the flattering style, the has found some affordable alternatives from royal-approved brands including Roman and Nobody's Child, so you can recreate her look on a budget.
For a navy dress with three-quarter length sleeves, but a more relaxed look than Queen Camilla's formal frocks, we love this option from Roman. In a stretch fabric with a flattering cross-over detail on the waist, it can be dressed up or down. We'd pair it with court shoes for a dressy look, or with trainers for a more casual vibe. It's currently in stock in sizes 10 to 20 and also comes in teal and black.
The British high-street retailer is popular among the Royal Family. Princess Kate has worn a belted denim midi dress by the label, while Duchess Sophie has stepped out in their designs several times.
You can recreate a fit-and-flare silhouette with a belted shirt dress like this one from British brand James Lakeland at Fenwick. In a slightly longer midi length, this is an elegant, versatile option and it currently has £20 off.
For a maxi dress in a similar style, try this from Jolie Moi at Debenhams. In a silky material with a ruched waistband that pulls you in, you get the flattering fit. The longer balloon sleeves give it an elegant silhouette and it's also ideal if you prefer a deeper v-neckline. If you are looking for a lighter colour, this also comes in a light blue and a dusty pink.
Here's a slightly different take on the style from Ghost. The Wilma dress has a collared bodice that's gathered at the bust, and a slinky bias-cut skirt, giving it a more subtle flare than some on our list. Made from a crepe material, it's one that could be easily dressed up for a more formal event. It also comes in ivory and a butter yellow, one of 2025's trending colours.
We think this vibrant fit-and-flare dress would make the perfect wedding guest outfit or race day look. Though the skirt has a side split, the slightly cropped sleeves and a discreet keyhole neckline keep it reminiscent of the cut of Camilla's favourite designs. The slim elasticated belt with gold hardware detail is a chic addition. We love the cobalt blue alternative option, too.
This is the perfect summer throw-on and would look great paired with white trainers and a denim jacket. It is made from a cotton blend material, ideal for warmer days. We love the trim on the v-neckline, too.
With its puff sleeves and scalloped trim on the square neckline, this linen dress is a pretty take on the style. If bright green isn't your colour, it also comes in a floral print.
