Picking out the perfect outfit for a royal wedding is the ultimate fashion challenge, but The Duchess Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles had a fail-safe strategy: go with what you know.

Camilla, stepmom to Prince William (now the Duke of Cambridge), wore a silk dress and coat by Anna Valentine Friday morning -- the same designer she chose for her own wedding to Prince Charles in 2005.

"The  biggest fashion upset was Camilla Parker-Bowles looking fabulous!" Entertainment Tonight fashion expert Steven Cojocaru tells Us Weekly of her champagne silk dress and hand-embroidered blue coat. "She was spot on in terms of looking perfectly day formal. She looked snazzy and dressed-up and dare I say glamorous."

Camilla accessorized with neutral Jimmy Choos and a topper by Philip Treacy, who also created stunning fascinators for Princess Beatrice and Eugenie in addition to several other wedding guests.

    I will never understand why Charles preferred her over Diana. There's no comparison; she can never be considered "accepted" as part of that family.

    She was the reason Princess Di past away way too young she is ugly and cannot ever hold a candle to Princess Diana

    Camilla's dress was lovely but Camilla seemed very over-anxious on the day. She looked out of place somehow.....
