British style conquers on this occasion.

Look at the Tatler Primrose53, that’s the only site I could find with a decent picture. Her dress did have a plunging neckline, but her shoes definitely weren’t frumpy, or like an airline staff member.

I used to like the way QE2 used to choose her clothes & accessories according to where she was going and/or who she would be seeing. Queen Camilla is clearly taking a leaf out of her book - wear embroidered clothes to view a famous embroidery. Sorted!

I think Camilla looks just right. That style suits her.

Mrs Burnham’s outfit would look more appropriate for the occasion if it did not have that very plunging neckline. Far too revealing. The colour suits her though.
Her shoes look a bit frumpy. They look like the shoes my niece used to have to wear when she worked for an airline. She hated them.

Oh, do! 😳

Sorry, invaded by images all of a sudden.

No, I don't see them as attachments Casdon: I'm aware of Marie-France van Heel's career and basically we rarely see her and AB at "public events" - I think a big art event is the sort one might expect.

a very impressive lady.

I don’t think that the King looks bad at all. Is tricky when all he can ever do is wear a nice suit but the Queen can shine in any variety of ensembles.
He looked fine.
BTW am not suggesting he wears a frock 🤣

Is that George Osborne I spy just behind the Macrons?
He is the Chair of the BM.

Oh yes.

I am team Queen Camilla too I know she wears a lot of the same style but they do suit her, Mrs Macron on the other hand looks too plain , she doesn't look "finished" even her hair looks untidy. The Kings jacket looks as if it's lost its shape especially the pockets, Macron's trousers are a touch too long.

Her shoes are very sensible too, especially with all those steps in front of the British Museum.

I’d be very annoyed if I was called somebody’s missus, she is an independent career woman. Her name is Marie-France van Heel.
Her dress was nice, I like the pleated skirt, and it was more on trend than the other ladies’ dresses - although I wouldn’t choose white.

"it was more on trend than the other ladies’ dresses"

She is younger, though. It's lovely, they all are in their different ways, but don't choose the red 🍷

I think its about the nicest I've seen Camilla look.
I rather like the king looking a little rumpled, too.

The late queen always wore more or less the same style as she got older.

Sensible decision I think. Find something you are happy and relaxed in and stick to it.

Camilla always wears the same style of dress be it in different colours. It does suit her. I’m sure she has them made to order. Andy Burnham’s missus looks better here than she did on her walk into No 10…. I felt embarrassed for her. 🫣

The King has far too much in his jacket pocket……..there’s a distinct bulge……maybe it’s a bag of humbugs??

The missing piece of the Bayeux Tapestry?

Nice

Wow, spot on. Pretty but simple. Hair too.

Imo Camilla always just about gets it right. I don't like Macrons style generally. I like a touch of soft.

Do you think? Her coats remind of those quilted housecoats women used to wear in the 60’s. Though who doesn’t want to go to work in their pj’s?

I'd wear Camilla's style of dress all the time if I could find it. So flattering.

Yes, me too, Aveline.

Camilla has found a style which suits her and tends to wear variations of that style. She always looks good, that dress is lovely.

Queen Camilla’s dress is beautiful with the embroidery on it but I wish she’d change her style a bit. I’m not sure what they call the look - is it Princess style? - but it’s always the same, those long seams and a long v-neckline.

Macron’s trousers are too long, the King’s suit is…um…well worn in.

I love the pleating on Mrs Burham’s dress.

I can never see a photo of macron without thinking of the stories that he wears overpowering amounts of fragrance, I aways wonder how the people next to him cope, I find that kind of thing unbearable so it always sticks in my mind

Nice

White in the darkness.

I think I spot Andy Burnham's wife wearing white too.

MiniMoon I hadn't looked at the pocket!
Just the fit...
