How Queen Camilla has quietly become the new Queen Elizabeth of the royal family

Queen Camilla has undergone one of the most fascinating and unexpected style evolutions in the modern monarchy. Once considered a reluctant dresser who leaned heavily on safe silhouettes, she has now emerged as a consistent, confident, and quietly commanding fashion force.

And in many ways, she has inherited the mantle long held by Queen Elizabeth II: the matriarch whose wardrobe tells the story of the monarchy itself. While the late Queen expressed her authority through vibrant colour and unmistakable uniformity, Camilla’s reign is characterised by something different – boldness wrapped in subtlety.
She dresses with the assurance of a woman who knows exactly who she is and who understands the power of clothes without needing them to shout.

The 78-year-old has adopted her very own signature look that often features regal navy tones, sweeping evening coats, and exquisitely tailored day dresses. But it’s her love of jewellery that most clearly connects her to Queen Elizabeth. The late monarch was rarely seen without her signature pearls.

From simple drop earrings to triple-strand necklaces, her pearl pieces became her daily uniform. Camilla, too, has embraced pearls as a cornerstone of her royal wardrobe, wearing them with the same quiet authority. Her collection features an array of elegant four-strand chokers, diamond-clasp necklaces, and long drop earrings.

She’s also been spotted in jewels once belonging to Queen Elizabeth II, such as historic brooches and necklaces, signalling continuity between the two reigns. Camilla’s choice to favour the same style speaks volumes – pearls remain the visual language of monarchy, grace, and endurance. And yet, her fashion still feels refreshingly modern. In the absence of the late Queen’s technicolour reign, Camilla has stepped into a new visual role and become the monarchy’s steady style anchor.

She may not dominate social media like younger royals, but her wardrobe is shaping a new era: one defined by tradition without confinement, glamour without striving, and elegance without apology. It’s the quiet confidence of a woman whose fashion speaks softly yet carries the full weight of the crown.
