Queen Camilla wears leopard print and knee-high boots in bold winter styling moment
Queen Camilla's leopard print dress and cosy knee high boots combination is the most elegant way to wear animal print in the winter
Queen Camilla has given a masterclass in wearing leopard print in the most timeless and elegant way with a pair of sultry yet practical knee-high boots.
Queen Camilla isn’t afraid to experiment with prints and patterns and she paired one of her most classic, best winter coats with a gorgeous leopard print dress and knee high boots for a special evening engagement. Reportedly undertaking a six hour drive, Her Majesty attended a musical evening at Salisbury Cathedral on 8th February which was held to celebrate the work of local charities. These included regimental charities of The Grenadier Guards and The Rifles of which Queen Camilla is Colonel and Colonel-in-Chief and her leopard print dress and knee high boot combination couldn’t have been more eye-catching.
Both items would easily fit into a winter capsule wardrobe with their timelessness and the dress was crafted by one of the Queen’s go-to designers, Fiona Clare. Clearly visible when she sat down in the pews, Queen Camilla’s leopard print dress was an elegant midi-length with long sleeves.
The dress incorporated warm neutral tones, including black, creamy white and a rich chocolate brown, which made the bold print a little more versatile. This colour palette means that the dress can easily be worn with items in matching shades to create a sophisticated evening look just like Queen Camilla's.

For added cosiness on this rainy February night, the Queen decided to keep things a little more paired-back and layered her dress with a collared white coat also by Fiona Clare. This isn’t the first time Her Majesty has styled these pieces together and we can totally understand why.
The coat has a lovely structure to it with the rounded collar, slightly puffed sleeves and flared skirt with subtle pleats. The invisible closures meant that Queen Camilla’s coat seamlessly draped down over her dress in such an elegant way. Choosing white to complement part of the leopard print pattern helped give her look a polished edge and she accessorised with contrasting sultry yet practical knee high boots in black.
