Camilla was pictured arriving at Cheltenham Racecourse for Ladies Day wearing a gorgeous emerald green coat over the top of a white polka-dot dress and black knee-high boots. And did you notice we saw the same frock last year? Probably not considering she styled it completely differently! Royals, celebs and everyone in between always dress to the nines for the occasion, and the elaborate headpieces are one of the biggest focal points of their outfits. The royal – who is an Honorary Member of the Jockey Club – continued the tradition by teaming her grey and cream spotty midi with a chic grey hat complete with a thick ribbon. The 72-year-old wore her blonde hair in her trademark bouncy bob and added dewy makeup. We rarely ever see the royal ladies with a full face of dark makeup, especially not for elegant daytime engagements, so we’re not surprised to see she opted for a natural shade on her lips and a light layer of mascara.
