The Royal Family’s outfits always attract a lot of attention, and whilst many people might have been admiring Queen Camilla’s animal-printed dress at Wimbledon I was focused on her footwear. You can completely transform an outfit with your choice of shoes and it’s easy to forget how much of an impact they have.
Your best white trainers can instantly make smart summer dresses look more low-key thanks to their sportiness and heels elevate jeans and a T-shirt. Queen Camilla for court shoes on Day 10 of Wimbledon and we’ve seen this pair before.
Her Majesty champions a lot of British clothing brands but she’s also partial to Chanel accessories. These luxurious heels with their black toe cap are a firm favourite of hers.
