Queen Elizabeth is known for wearing bright-colored outfits, which Queen Camilla doesn't follow. King Charles' late mom and wife reportedly have different tastes in fashion.
Queen Camilla Doesn't Follow Queen Elizabeth's Fashion Rule?
The late monarch usually picked bright-colored dresses when she attended royal engagements. Queen Elizabeth paired her get-up with matching hats for a reason — she wanted the people to spot her easily.
“She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the queen,’” the Queen's daughter-in-law Sophie explained in the documentary The Queen at 90, Showbiz CheatSheet reported. “Don’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen’s hat as she went past.”
Camilla doesn't follow her mother-in-law's choice of colors. Instead of wearing bright colors, she usually wears muted colors by British couture designers such as Bruce Oldfield and Fiona Clare.
The queen consort also loves to wear beige, which according to Daily Mail based on an analysis by Vogue, was Queen Elizabeth's least favorite color to wear. Her Majesty wore beige 1% of the time. However, the shade is among the new queen consort's favorites, as she is often seen in it.
Prince William and Prince Harry's stepmom also loves wearing beige heels because they go with almost any outfit. Her favorites are heels from Sole Bliss, which specializes in creating footwear for women with common foot problems. Sole Bliss uses "comfort technology" for support and equips their shoes with memory foam cushion contours to prevent the foot from pronating.
Queen Camilla Might Eventually Follow The Late Queen's Style?
Former Vogue editor and personal stylist Ginnie Chadwyck-Healy weighed in on Queen Camilla's wardrobe. According to her, King Charles' wife will be "careful" when choosing her outfits. And she might follow the Queen's fashion rule in the future.
"Given the breadth of appearances she will need to dress for, she may consider other designers, and in due course may even lean on the experience of [Queen Elizabeth’s dresser] Angela Kelly, but she will undoubtedly continue to support British design in her careful, considered manner," she told Grazia.

She added that it is "not the time or role for [Camilla to do] a huge style overhaul." At her age, she also believed that "comfort is key," so royal fans should "expect block heel shoes, more flat boots, lightweight top-handle handbags, neat brooches, not too much fuss."
