The merits of regal twinning

The mother and daughter duo donned custom long white Alexander McQueen gowns adorned with embroidered flowers to symbolize the four countries that make up Great Britain. Meanwhile, a Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen floral headpiece accented with embellishments like crystals, silver bullion, and thread-work leaf embroidery added a subtle regal touch to their overall look.
The allure of dramatic headpiece
The historical ceremony wouldn’t be as memorable without a parade of dramatic headpieces. Queen Letizia of Spain complemented her Carolina Herrera suit with a lace disk hat from Balel. Designer fascinators were a popular choice, too. Pippa Middleton kept it chic with a coordinating Claire Mischevani coatdress and a Jane Taylor Millinery fascinator, while Queen of Lesotho ‘Masenate Mohato Seeiso made a serious case for a feathered iteration.
The penchant for spring hues
It’s undeniable that spring hues dominated the steps of Westminster Abbey. At the coronation, powerful personalities like Zara Tindall and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece were dressed in different interpretations of a powder blue palette. Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice made a memorable entrance with her hot pink Beulah London dress and gold Emily-London headpiece. Another noteworthy mention includes Katy Perry who was a complete vision in a lavender Vivienne Westwood outfit.
