Camilla's choice of attire paid homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as she donned a bespoke navy gown and sentimental royal jewelry. The stunning dress, a Dior Couture evening garden cape in midnight blue silk, was specially crafted by Maria Grazia Chiuri, epitomizing Dior's savoir-faire.
Dior took to social media to commend Camilla's regal appearance, sharing an image of Queen Camilla and King Charles captioned, "A regal appearance for the state dinner held this evening at the Château de Versailles.
Queen Camilla appeared in an exquisite Dior Couture evening gown and cape in midnight blue silk, pre-specially dreamed up by Maria Grazia Chiuri - a masterpiece epitomizing Dior's savoir-faire," said a statement accompanying the picture on the official Twitter account of the brand.
Following the French brand's post, many royal fans believe that the picture of the Queen was used to subtly mock Meghan Markle, who reportedly failed to secure a deal with the luxury brand. After the controversial suit that Harry wore to his father's coronation, Dior seems keen to distance themselves from the couple. However, another source leaked that Dior had allegedly considered Harry as an ambassador, but Megan's involvement reportedly led to their rejection by the brand. Some see this as a fitting consequence for both of them.
Dior knows that it needs to appeal to different markets, all of which can afford their clothes. In June, a Dior spokesperson dismissed speculations about a deal with Meghan, stating that the brand had occasionally dressed her when she was a working member of the royal family alongside Prince Harry. Harry also donned Dior for the recent coronation of King Charles. Ever since Dior denied reports about a deal with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has been subjected to online trolling whenever a member of the royal family is dressed by the brand.
While Dior aims to appeal to younger, affluent demographics, it also recognizes the importance of older, wealthy women who may be drawn to the brand after seeing Camilla in that dress. Queen Camilla's appearance in the exquisite Dior Couture evening garden cape in midnight blue silk received applause from many royal fans.
They praised her stunning look and the couple's charming presence, highlighting Camilla's grace and her ability to complement Prince Charles, portraying them as an attractive and harmonious couple. Fans appreciated Camilla's down-to-earth and strong demeanor, which seemed to be a perfect match for Charles. The overall sentiment was positive, with admiration for Camilla's style and confidence in the dress. Some also expressed their hopes for longevity and grace, inspired by Camilla's elegance at the age of 75.
