Her older brother, King Charles, wore a classic black tailcoat and top hat with a yellow waistcoat.
Tuesday evening’s party kicked off the royal tour of Scotland that officially began with the King’s observance of the Ceremony of the Keys in the palace garden.
This centuries-old ritual involves the Lord Provost presenting the Keys to the City of Edinburgh to the monarch, who then returns them for safekeeping.
During the Ceremony of the Keys, King Charles met with Service Chiefs before receiving a Royal Salute.

He then inspected the King’s Bodyguard Scotland, otherwise known as the Royal Company of Archers, as they presented a Guard of Honour as part of the formal proceedings.
Elsewhere, Camilla officially opened the newly rebuilt Ratho Library in Scotland.
The opening marked the launch of the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s Paper Trails initiative.
The five-year programme aims to bring literature directly into local communities across Edinburgh.

Her Majesty’s visit to the facility highlighted its significance as a community hub, particularly after the previous library failed to reopen following Covid-19.
The Paper Trails project, supported by author Sir Ian Rankin, will operate across five libraries, including Ratho, with innovative programmes designed to engage local residents.
Princess Anne’s latest trip to Scotland follows a recent appearance at the Royal Highland Show, just outside Edinburgh, last month.
However, she soon became part of a humorous scene when her tour of the grounds came across a pair of sleeping farmers.
