Queen Camilla opted for a fabulous blue look as she stepped out on 21 January, and it's giving us a major case of déjà vu. The 78-year-old wife of King Charles was seen during a visit to Maggie's charity centre in Cheltenham in her role as the organisation's president alongside the Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell-Horner.
The royal seemed to take inspiration from her stepdaughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, who embarked on her own outing the day before in a strikingly similar look. Camilla chose a blue tartan cropped jacket with a velvet collar and cuffs by Roy Allen.

For her accessories, according to Royal British Fashion on Instagram, the queen added the 'Mini Venice Bag in Green' by De Mellier, as well as the 'Dressage Knee High Boots' by Russell and Bromley and a chiffon scarf by Antonia York.

While Camilla's jacket featured a cropped fit, it seemed to be a twist on Kate's ankle-length tartan coat. The princess debuted a bespoke number by menswear tailor Chris Kerr in a similar pattern and button-arrangement to Camilla's and also opted for knee-high suede boots (hers were by Gianvito Rossi) with a Zara roll-neck underneath.

Camilla's style muse
