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

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.
