All eyes are on Queen Camilla on coronation day — and what she's wearing!

The Queen Consort, 75, arrived at Westminster Abbey on Saturday for the crowning ceremony wearing Queen Elizabeth's Robe of State. The crimson velvet vestment was commissioned for King Charles' mother to wear at her own coronation in 1953 and has been conserved with adjustments by Ede and Ravenscroft, the oldest tailor in London.

Her coronation dress was designed by Bruce Oldfield, whose designs she's worn on a number of occasions. He was also one of Princess Diana's preferred designers and was behind several of her iconic dresses in the 1980s. When designing the garment, he set out to create a sophisticated and modern gown to reflect Queen Camilla's style and personality.

Queen Camilla's coronation dress was simple and tailored with curved shape-lines swooping into a short train, which was designed to compliment both of the robes she will wear during the service. The gown, which features ivory, silver and gold colors, also had an embroidered underskirt with bracelet-length sleeves and was cut with Peau de Soie, a silk fabric.
