The banquet marks a significant milestone in Camilla's royal career; it's the very first she has attended as the Queen Consort.
The 74-year-old wowed onlookers wearing a royal blue lace evening dress by Bruce Oldfield. She wore her trademark blonde hair in a voluminous style and her crowning glory was the tiara - what a stunning piece; it was the late Queen's sapphire and diamond tiara and she also wore the monarch's matching necklace and bracelet.

For the special occasion, Camilla wore an eye-catching blue ensemble by her go-to designer, Fiona Clare. The smart, button-down number boasted a structured collar and was perfectly offset by a leather bag and matching gloves, ensuring all eyes were on her as she greeted President Cyril Ramaphosa in style. Camilla completed her eye-catching outfit with a blue feather beret by royal-approved milliner Philip Treacy.
The Queen Consort looked fabulous in her blue ensemble
The Queen Consort often heads to Fiona Clare when she has a special occasion to dress up for. Dressing royalty is a true pinnacle moment in any designer's career, and Fiona couldn't be happier. She previously told HELLO! "At the stage I am in my career, there have been many highlights, but the day I received a call from Jacqui Meakin - HRH The Duchess of Cornwall's dresser - was a jewel in the crown!"
