While she loves a Barbour jacket as much as the next royal,Queen Camillahas undergone quite a style transformation over the last decade. In a role that has seen her public image scrutinized more than most, she appears to have found an inner confidence — so what are her style secrets?

Stay True to Yourself

Despite having a vault of royal jewelry at her disposal, Queen Camilla has never had her ears pierced — and says she never will.

In an interview with BritishVoguelast year she said, “The grandchildren will try to persuade me, but nothing’s going to pierce my ears.”

Color is Key

Chatting withVogue, she expressed a disdain for mauve, describing it as “menopausal mauve” when the team suggested a shot next to her flowering wisteria at Clarence House.

The most popular color in Camilla’s closet? Most certainly blue, worn most recently in anofficial set of photosto mark the coronation.

Sharing is Caring

Queen Camilla has been known to raidKing Charles' closet on more than one occasion. One of her favorite “loans” is an ornate wool and cashmere jacket or “daqlah” featuring intricate Saudi inscriptions embroidered in delicate silver thread. Gifted to the King during an official visit to Saudi Arabia in 1998, Camilla has worn the jacket several times, most recently to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.

Honey Highlights

The Queen has seen some subtle hair changes over the years.Jo Hansford, who has been coloring Camilla’s hair for over 35 years, says the secret to the royal’s soft blonde look is to keep adjusting the color to suit her skin tone, which changes as we age.

“I think her color now looks amazing!” Hansford told BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour recently, adding that generally lighter hair has an anti-aging effect.

Adding honey tones to Camilla’s hair recently, the colorist said: “It does look good now because it’s softer and warmer.”

Stay Comfortable

Queen Camilla’s two favorite shoe brands? Chanel andSole Bliss. Only recently, it’s the latter that the Queen has been relying on for most of her public engagements. That’s likely down to their unique memory foam incorporated into the structure of every style. Camilla is such a fan she owns 12 pairs, including their platform trainers. And she’s in good company —Julia Robertsis a recent convert.
