“Caramel Crush: Queen Camilla’s Highland Fling with Fashion at Braemar”
The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in Braemar, Scotland, transformed into a veritable runway as Her Majesty sashayed in, King Charles III by her side. But forget the king for a moment (sorry, Charles), because all eyes were on Camilla’s feet. Yes, you heard that right – her feet!
The queen stepped out in a pair of caramel-colored pumps that had me weak at the knees. With their glossy brown leather uppers and squared toes, they whispered “classic” while screaming “chic.” And don’t even get me started on those short block heels – providing just enough lift to make Camilla’s legs look miles long without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. It’s giving “sensible queen” realness, and I’m living for it.
Now, between you and me, these pumps bore a striking resemblance to Her Majesty’s go-to Maryam Nassir Zadeh kitten heels. You know the ones – she’s been spotted in them more times than I’ve had cosmopolitans (and trust me, that’s saying something). But whether they’re MNZ or not, one thing’s for sure: Camilla knows what works for her. She’s the queen of age-appropriate footwear, always opting for silhouettes that offer both style and stability. Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Schutz – take note, because this is how you do caramel-colored perfection.
But wait, there’s more! Camilla didn’t stop at the shoes. Her entire ensemble was a love letter to Scottish tradition. She donned a navy dress adorned with a feather print that practically screamed “highland chic.” And perched atop her royal tresses? A brown beret complete with what appeared to be a pheasant feather. Now, let’s pause for a fashion history lesson: that feather isn’t just a pretty accessory. It’s a symbol of imagination and creativity, darlings. Who knew the queen was such a deep thinker?
Speaking of deep, let’s dive into the event itself. The Braemar Gathering isn’t just any old highland fling. It’s the crème de la crème of Highland Games, drawing crowds from far and wide every first Saturday in September. With a history spanning nearly two centuries, it’s like the Met Gala of Scottish traditions – minus the outrageous costumes (although I wouldn’t say no to seeing Camilla in a tartan ball gown).
As we wrap up this fashion feast, let’s not forget Camilla’s true style signatures. She’s often spotted in Sole Bliss and Chanel block-heeled pumps, favoring neutrals, navy, and pink for those formal occasions where one must look regal AF. And like any true style icon, she’s not afraid to play favorites – suede is her material of choice, a preference she shares with other royal fashionistas.
So there you have it, my devoted fashion disciples. Queen Camilla, serving Scottish realness with a side of sensible chic. Long may she reign – over our closets and our hearts.
