Camilla wore one of Prince Charles' old outfits for Jubilee concert

Boyfriend-style blazers and jeans are a staple for many women, and some even go raiding through their partner's wardrobe to find the perfect look. And arguably it just looks better on us, so why not?

And it turns out Camilla had the exact same idea when she was choosing her outfits for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.

The Duchess of Cornwall turned heads with her stellar outfit choices throughout the four-day celebration, and eagle-eyed viewers noticed that one of the pieces she wore actually belongs to her beloved husband Prince Charles.

The future Queen Consort looked stunning in an embroidered gown during Saturday's Platinum Party at the Palace, and it turns out the outfit was first worn by the Duke during a visit to Saudi Arabia.

Her striking black gown was hidden for most of the event by a sleek, black zip-up jacket but she removed it to stand alongside Charles when he gave a speech - showing the vintage piece off in all its glory.

Charles was gifted the wool and cashmere robe, known as a Saudi Daqlah, during a royal visit to Saudi Arabia many years ago. It was made by acclaimed fashion designer Yahya Al Bishri.

Camilla styled her husband’s traditional gown with a timeless pair of diamond earrings, classy long black trousers, and a pair of black flats. Her hair was in effortless waves.

Fans who watched the royal affair from home were obsessed with Camilla’s look, taking to social media to rave about her ‘fit.

"Duchess of Cornwall has an incredible fashion game, honestly she never disappoints" raved someone else.

People kept pointing out how incredible she was looking over the weekend.

Camilla took to the stage alongside Charles to accompany him as he delivered a heartfelt speech in honour of his 'mummy.'

Paying tribute to the Queen, he said: "You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, have been there for us, for these 70 years.

"You pledged to serve your whole life - you continue to deliver. You continue to make history."

Elsewhere in the speech, he referred to his late father Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, noting that he was "much missed this evening but I am sure he is here in spirit."

Speaking to the crowds that gathered on the Saturday to celebrate the Queen, he stated: "My papa would have enjoyed the show and joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all you continue to do for your country and your people."
