9 Times Queen Camilla’s Fashion Faux Pas Shattered The Royals’ Tidy Image


In May 2018, Queen Camilla attended the National Health Service Heroes Awards. Judging by the photos of the event, it was a blustery day, with the wind blowing Camilla’s hair away from her face. The queen’s dress for the event featured white piping down the front, an embellished bodice, and a front slit at the hem. This little detail caused a literal slip-up when the wind revealed the queen’s undergarment as she walked.  Unfortunately, Camilla may not have been aware of some royal hacks for dealing with the situation. After dealing with a wayward dress of her own, Queen Elizabeth wore outfits that included miniature weights to defend against unwelcome breezes. While incorporating weights when sewing the garment is a great option, an easier defense for items already sewn is to wear static-inducing shapewear and use the power of physics to keep skirts in place. 

Camilla also experienced another slip-related fashion faux pas in 2015. During hot weather, Camilla wore a gauzy white skirt during an outdoor appearance. Unfortunately, even though the hem was knee-length, Camilla’s upper legs were visible through the too-sheer material. Again, Camilla wasn’t the first royal to make this error, although in this case, a slip underneath would have solved the problem.
