The chic midi dress is surely one of Camilla’s favorites, having already worn it to her very first fashion show – the Julien Macdonald reception in November 2018 – and this time around, she went for an all-black look with her favorite Launer clutch, Sole Bliss ‘Ingrid’ shoes and leather gloves.

During her recent engagements, she’s certainly wrapped up warm, opting for tall boots instead of shoes and wearing her trusty gloves – so that just might be a winter fashion decision too!
