Queen Camilla Steps Out In a Recycled Look At Royal Garden Party — Photos

Queen Camilla chose a black and white dress by designer Anna Valentine for a public royal engagement. The midi dress features long sleeves and a rounded neckline, embellished with black threaded details along the cuffs and down the front in an off-center design. She wore the same outfit when King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress during their historic U.S. State visit last month.

The Queen was captured wearing a gorgeous monochromatic Philip Treacy hat that complemented her white outfit with black accents. This wide-brimmed hat was the same one worn for the 2025 Thanksgiving Service on VE Day. The accessory added a whole new dimension to the outfit.

The Cartier palm brooch, also known as the paisley brooch, was once owned by Queen Elizabeth II, who inherited it from the Queen Mother. Crafted in 1938, it features 203 diamonds set in a platinum palm leaf design, with a prominent central stone and surrounding drop and navette cut diamonds. Queen Elizabeth II wore it on various occasions, including a wedding in 2019, and it is now favored by Queen Camilla, who last wore it at the Commonwealth Day service in March. She continues to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II with her choice of jewelry.

Accessories, jewelry and headgear make a world of difference in the ensemble, even if the dress was worn before. Queen Camilla completed her look with an umbrella and a black clutch. She opted for simple black pumps for the classy occasion.

Award-winning author, poet and activist with disabilities, Penny Pepper, presented Queen Camilla with her book, "First in the World Somewhere: The True Adventures of a Scribbler, Siren, Saucepot and Pioneer," knowing the Queen's enthusiasm for reading and promoting literary talent.
