King Charles' Coronation: Princess Kate Is A Vision In Ivory Alexander McQueen - But No Tiara
She paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana with her jewellery.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, made a glowing entrance at the coronation of King Charles III today in a look fit for a future queen.
The senior royal arrived at the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in an Alexander McQueen dress in ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock motifs. Over it, she wore a blue formal robe, at the monarch's request.

She additionally paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana with her accessories. She wore the George VI Festoon Necklace, which was made in 1950 at the request of King George VI for his daughter, the then-Princess Elizabeth; and pearl-and-diamond earrings which once belonged to Diana, the former Princess of Wales.
