Coronation style! Celebrity stylist MIRANDA HOLDER gives her verdict on the royal ensemblesDaily Mail, May 7, 2023
The Princess of Wales Although Kate looked breathtakingly beautiful at the event, this was not really her moment to shine on the style front and she gracefully stepped back, allowing full focus to be on the newly crowned King and Queen.
Despite Kate’s demure approach, I can’t help but get excited about her honouring her favourite British designer who without fail gives us a masterclass in fashion in its purest original essence - as an artform - every time, wearing that glorious gown with such grace and beauty whilst always making it look effortless.
Kate fused ancient tradition with the modern world perfectly, keeping her signature style consistent even at the most momentous of occasions.
The ingenious bespoke headpiece, that stunning halo of silver leaves, which was another fashion Royal first, together with her simple but striking couture gown, topped with her patriotic garter robes made it a true fashion moment for Kate.
Zara TindallZara looked as if she was off to a wedding, stepping out in a feminine pale blue coat dress with coordinating shoes, hat and bag.
The ensemble was more feminine and softer than many of Zara’s previous formal occasion looks and somehow felt very grown up.
Perhaps the Princess has finally settled on a ‘signature style’ - a style hack that has worked wonders for the late Queen, Camilla and of course Kate.
Queen Camilla Camilla looked nervous but resplendent sitting beside her husband in the carriage, the first glimpse of her gown showed a white fabric embellished with silver embroidery, with her robe of state nestled over her shoulders.
The gold embroidery looking glorious against the ornate gold of the State carriage.. The neckline was the perfect depth to showcase the magnificent Coronation necklace which was made for Queen Victoria has been traditionally worn at every coronation by the Queen ever since.
The Queen looked nothing short of magnificent, the full length gown sitting perfectly on her frame, her added height being 5 ft 7 creating a vision that was positively statuesque.
The almost full length central pleat that extends down the front of the garment adding flattering elongation and just a little bit of drama.
Princess EugenieEugenie, proudly nursing her ever-growing baby bump looked understated in head to toe navy, again opting for the ever-chic monochrome option.
The look, despite the smock dress, long coat and glittering diamonds felt a little severe, aged the Princess and on the fashion front left me cold.
