Queen Camilla Breathes Fresh Air Into Her Royal Wardrobe With Samantha Sung

Queen Camilla forwent her usual pieces by Fiona Clare and Anna Valentine for a dress by Samantha Sung for her most recent outing in Calne, England on Thursday. The British royal family member has long favored dresses by the aforementioned two London-based designers. Queen Camilla’s Samantha Sung look offers fresh variety to her royal wardrobe.

The Samantha Sung dress featured a vibrant summery tone of green with white dots all over the fabric. The dress included a collar with buttons running down the front placket of the midi dress and a belted waist for added silhouette definition.

Other elements of the queen consort’s look included a pair of sand suede wedges courtesy of Eliot Zed. She accessorized her attire with her signature Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry pieces and completed the look with a pair of sunglasses courtesy of Maui Jim.

Over the course of her time as the United Kingdom’s queen consort during King Charles III’s reign, Queen Camilla consistently gravitates toward the designs of Fiona Clare and Anna Valentine. The two London-based designers’ pieces regularly supply Queen Camilla with patterned midi dresses in roughly the same column silhouette with a subtle cinched waist for daytime occasions, receptions and more.

Even for more formal events, Queen Camilla will often wear dresses from the aforementioned designers. While hosting a banquet alongside King Charles III at Windsor Castle in England on Tuesday for French President Emmanuel Macron and France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron, Queen Camilla wore a white gown with embroidery on the hemline and cuffs by Fiona Clare.

The Fiona Clare design was part of a sartorial statement of unity. Kate Middleton, who also attended alongside husband Prince William, wore a bespoke red dress by Sarah Burton of Givenchy, while Brigitte Macron styled a custom royal blue dress by Louis Vuitton. The colorscape evoked the French flag and the flag of the United Kingdom.

Samantha Sung launched her eponymous label in 2006. The designer previously served as the senior director in New York at Polo Ralph Lauren and the design director at Cerutti & Cerutti in Milan. She is also the former design director of Tocca.
