At the Ludlow racecourse in 1980 — the first occassion Princess Diana and Charles had been seen together in public — Camilla and Diana were matching in knee-high leather boots and structured outerwear.Even in 1984, the markings of Camilla's personal style were already visible. Pictured here with her first husband Andrew, son Tom and daughter Laura, Camilla's three-strand pearl necklace, structured blazer and off-center beret are pieces she has gone on to wear again and again.
She wore her trusty diamond serpentine necklace once again.At her wedding to Charles in 2005, Camilla wore two outfits. The first was a white silk coat and chiffon dress by Robinson Valentine finished with a feather and lace trimmed hat by Philip Treacy.The second look for the couple's blessing featured a baby blue silk dress, also by Robinson Valentine, and a second Philip Treacy hat with gold-leaf covered feathers. The gold detailing on Camilla's coat was hand-embroidered.
