From traditional robes to statement headpieces, royals and guests wore a rainbow of colours to Britain's King Charles III's coronation on Saturday, filling London's Westminster Abbey with a rainbow of hues and designs. The monarch arrived at the Abbey wearing his grandfather King George VI's crimson velvet Robe of State, a crimson coronation tunic and cream silk overshirt and royal naval trousers.






Camilla Wears 'Robe Of State': 


Camilla wore the 'Robe of State', which was made for the late Queen Elizabeth at her coronation in 1953, over an ivory gown designed by British couturier Bruce Oldfield and embellished with silver and gold floral embroidery. When they leave the Abbey, they will both change their robes.

Here's A Look At Who Wore What At King Charles III's Coronation: 


William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales, both wore formal robes and mantels over their outfits, with the heir to the throne dressed in the ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards and his wife wearing a headpiece made of silver and crystal leaves instead of a tiara.




Both she and her daughter Charlotte wore ivory silk crepe gowns designed by Alexander McQueen, the same label Kate chose for her wedding gown in 2011. Charles' siblings wore traditional robes as well, while his nieces - Princesses Beatrice, Eugenie, Zara, and Lady Louise - wore fuchsia, blue, and floral print dresses or coats.


Among the celebrity guests were actress Emma Thompson, who chose a floral motif with a red coat adorned with rose designs, and American singer Katy Perry, who will perform at the coronation concert in Windsor on Sunday in an eye-catching fitted lilac short-sleeved skirt suit with matching gloves and a statement hat.




Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, who has played both Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria in her career, wore different shades of blue, while Joanna Lumley wore a white-collared navy coat with a matching white hat.


Singers Nick Cave and Lionel Ritchie, who will also perform at the concert on Sunday, wore three-piece black suits, while Stephen Fry wore a yellow waistcoat.


Traditional outfits from across the Commonwealth were on display, and peers wore red ceremonial robes.


US and French first ladies Jill Biden and Brigitte Macron wore powder blue and pale pink outfits, respectively, while Ukraine's first lady Olena Zelenska wore a matching sage dress and coat.


The Abbey was peppered with colourful statement hats and fascinators in fuchsia, orange, and red.
