Queen Camilla Wears Princess Kate's Favourite Boden Dress to Reception

The Princess of Wales' favourite high street label, Boden, is also gaining traction with Queen Camilla, according to recent sightings. The brand's signature mix of bold colour, playful prints and polished silhouettes has long made it a standout in Princess Kate's wardrobe. Over the years, she has worn everything from Boden knitwear and blouses to dresses, many of which have sold out quickly after appearing in public.

Camilla's Boden Dress Choice

More recently, Camilla wore a striking Boden dress to a Clarence House reception celebrating life-saving assistance dogs trained to detect illness and disease. Her choice was the Smocked Jersey Shirt Dress, a red-and-pink design that balances statement colour with a classic shirt dress shape. The smocked bodice adds gentle structure and a flattering fit, while the midi-length skirt keeps it elegant yet practical. A further advantage is its crease-resistant fabric, making it especially suited to busy days or travel.

Versatile and Popular

Versatile in nature, the dress lends itself easily to a range of spring and summer occasions, from office wear to weekend brunch or evening events. Camilla styled hers with Eliot Zed court shoes, though it would work just as well with loafers or sandals. It has also proved popular with shoppers, attracting consistently positive reviews. Customers have praised its 'classy style' and flattering fit, with one describing it as 'a dream to wear.' Others highlight its comfort and ease, noting that it 'fits perfectly' and is 'very forgiving,' while another called it 'one of the best purchases' they've made from the brand.
