Queen Camilla is tackling many of fall 2026’s style trends with her most recent look, wearing animal prints, suede boots and shades of brown — including her on-trend chocolate brown boots — during a visit to the Aberfan Memorial Garden marking the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster on Wednesday.

One of the most trendy aspects of her ensemble for the visit was a pair of dark brown suede knee-high block-heel boots, which are a signature element of her fall and winter wardrobe. She frequently pairs similar styles, most notably her favorite “Dressage” suede boots from Russell & Bromley, with tailored outerwear and A-line dresses.
The Russell & Bromley knee-high boots are an Italian-made, equestrian-inspired luxury style crafted in smooth suede. They are known as a favorite of Queen Camilla, and they feature a front stitched seam, a soft almond toe, an inside zip with an elasticated gusset and a comfortable two-inch block heel.

She paired the boots with a monochrome leopard-print midi dress by British designer Fiona Clare. The bespoke chiffon midi dress features a subtle leopard print, long sleeves and a ruffled neckline. The animal print on the dress has a mix of brown, white and black accents, complementing her boots. She completed the look with a tan long-line coat with whipstitch trim, black leather gloves and a small brooch.
The royal tends to favor a classic, minimalist and practical shoe style. She regularly wears low-to-moderate block heels, kitten heels and low wedges in neutral colors like beige, taupe, cream and black, leaning heavily on comfort-focused and designer labels for public royal engagements that involve a good amount of walking.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla met with Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq following a three-day State Visit to the UK. The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a National Coal Board spoil tip on Oct. 21, 1966, in the small Welsh mining village of Aberfan, killing 144 people, including 116 children. A mountain of liquefied coal waste from the Merthyr Vale Colliery slid into the valley below, completely engulfing Pantglas Junior School and several surrounding houses. It remains the worst mining-related disaster in British history.
