She continued the monochrome motif with a pair of pointed-toe stilettos. Her delicate accessories, including bracelets, a watch and rings complemented the look. Brigitte’s hair was styled with extra volume, while her makeup featured a smokey eye.
As for her look, Queen Camilla fashioned a midi dress by Anna Valentine with detailing on the lapels of the collar and running down the sides of her long sleeves. The British royal family member also wore a statement brooch, which stood out amongst her other accessories, most notably her pearl earrings.
The queen consort opted for neutral heels by Eliot Zed, which coordinated with her gloves. Queen Camilla finished the look with an ornate white hat courtesy of Philip Treacy.
Queen Camilla’s latest ensemble isn’t the first she’s worn to a D-Day commemorative ceremony. On Wednesday, the royal attended another commemorative D-Day event alongside husband King Charles and Prince William.
For the occasion, she opted for a pale pink monochrome look by Fiona Clare and a coordinated hat by Philip Treacy. The pearls Queen Camilla wore for both ceremonies may have been an homage to resilience, both of the veterans who served during World War II and the British royal family.
Pearls are among the strongest gemstones, capable of withstanding the forces of the natural elements.
D-Day commemorates the land, sea and airborne operations by the allied forces in the latter years of World War II. The operation commenced on June 6, 1944. Thousands of civilians and troops died during the military operation, which unfolded largely on the beaches of Normandy in Northern France.
