Queen Camilla turned to one of her go-to designers, Anna Valentine, for her attire at the arrival of France’s President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron on Tuesday in Windsor, England. The U.K.’s queen consort wore a nearly complete monochrome look, while Brigitte Macron went for a classic crisp white dress with gold accents.
Queen Camilla styled an Anna Valentine emerald green midi dress with three-quarter-length sleeves, a rounded neckline and slightly flared skirt with soft pleats. The Anna Valentine design coordinated with Queen Camilla’s hat, designed by Philip Treacy.
The wife of King Charles III opted for taupe suede and leather toe cap pumps by Eliot Zed. To further accessorize her look, the queen consort wore pearl earrings and her four strand pearl choker with diamond clasp. She also added Queen Mary’s Emerald and Diamond Celtic Knot Brooch, part of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s jewelry collection.

Macron wore a tailored white midi dress with long sleeves and buttons on the side placket for an asymmetrical element to the overall look. The dress featured a cinched waist with gold accents to add pops of contrasting color to the ensemble. She also carried a gold clutch and accessorized her attire with metallic pieces.
In the past, however, Macron and Queen Camilla have made joint public appearances in which their respective styles complemented each other. For the Entente Littéraire Prize Award Ceremony last December, Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron coordinated in complementary colorways. Macron wore a coatdress in a subdued shade of cornflower blue, while the queen consort opted for a gray midi dress and blazer.
The Macrons’ visit to the U.K. marks the first state visit made by France in 17 years. The couple will stay at Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and a banquet will be held there in their honor.
