had commissioned Bruce Oldfield, British couturier and longtime friend of the royal family, to design . It isn’t surprising that Queen Camilla turned to someone she already trusts, having worked with Oldfield to design pieces for other landmark moments, from the 2016 State Opening of Parliament to the 2021 premiere of No Time to Die.

Even in her shoot for the July 2022 issue of British Vogue——Camilla opted to wear a Bruce Oldfield design, a lace evening gown in royal blue selected from her personal wardrobe.“The embellishment of the Coronation dress features delicate garlands of abstract wildflowers from fields and hedgerows: daisy chains, forget-me-nots, celandine, and scarlet pimpernel, representing The King and The Queen Consort’s affection for nature and the British countryside,” Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement.

It continued, “Celebratory bunting, in antique gold and silver thread, intertwine amongst the swathes of wildflowers. Embellishing the front hem area of the underskirt and the cuffs of each sleeve are the flower emblems of the four nations of the United Kingdom—a rose, a thistle, a daffodil and a shamrock.

In designing the garment, Bruce Oldfield’s vision was to create a sophisticated and modern dress that showcases Her Majesty’s style and personality in its details.
