On the occasion of the coronation of Charles III, which took place today, Kate Middleton decided to wear a elegant dress by Alexander McQueen. The event represented a historic and solemn moment, in which the Duchess of Cambridge showed, once again, her impeccable style.
Kate's choice, Alexander McQueen's dress
Kate Middleton chose again Alexander McQueen, a brand she has preferred on several formal occasions. Her relationship with the brand began with the wedding dress on April 29, 2011. Among other moments in which Kate wore creations McQueen, we remember the wedding of his sister Pippa, the christenings of his three children – George, Charlotte and Louis – and the tailored coats worn on Remembrance Sunday.

Details of the bespoke coronation gown of Charles III
The elegant dress was specially created for the coronation of Charles III. Made in ivory silk crepe, is embellished with silver embroidery depicting rose, thistle, daffodil and clover, symbols of the four nations. The headgear, a bespoke headband, is the result of a collaboration between Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen, also decorated with precious flowers embroidered in silver thread.
Kate Middleton boasts a remarkable hat collection created by Jane Taylor Millinery, Lock & Co., Sylvia Fletcher and Philip Treacy, custom made and matched to the gown. Wear a fascinatorsinstead of the traditional one tiara, would be a controversial choice, as the English royal tradition foresees the use of a tiara for the ladies of the court and members of the royal family.
