Queen Camilla has transformed her sartorial portfolio over the last few years, and on Tuesday evening, she donned a fabulously striking garment that caught the attention of royal fans.

During an exciting night out with Helena Bonham Carter and Stephen Fry at the London Library, the 77-year-old wore a charcoal grey pleated skirt adorned with black ribbon. She paired the A-line number with a flattering fitted jacket in the same charcoal and black colour palette.

Completing her look, Camilla wore her dazzling silver Courtauld Thomson scallop-shell brooch, a piece beloved by the Queen Mother and the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The ensemble featured in a series of snaps on the official Instagram account for the royal family alongside the words: "Celebrating the wonderful work of @TheLondonLibrary!
