See the best outfits from King Charles’ coronation: Kate, Camilla and more

A new king has been crowned.

While the pomp and circumstance of King Charles III’s coronation weekend is far from over, the new monarch and wife Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday morning, surrounded by some of the highest rulers of the world.

Charles bucked tradition with his outfit for the occasion, trading breeches and silks for a crimson coronation tunic over a white overshirt and his own military pants — which he wore underneath the same robe his grandfather King George VI wore to his own coronation in 1937.

Royal fans predicted the new monarch would opt for a more modern look, as a royal insider told The Sun the traditional garb was deemed “too dated.”

During the ceremony, both Charles and Camilla were crowned with meaningful royal pieces as part of the sacred ceremony.

At the moment of coronation, King Charles donned the Colobium Sindonis, which is a simple white gown, before being bestowed with the golden Supertunica and the historic St. Edward’s Crown; he then wore the Imperial State Crown upon leaving the abbey.

Below, see what everyone from the Prince and Princess of Wales to Jill Biden and other international monarchs wore to the historic coronation.

Queen Camilla

The newly crowned Queen Camilla wore an ivory gown by Bruce Oldfield featuring silver and gold embroidery depicting the national flowers of the United Kingdom. She accessorized with the iconic Coronation Necklace, which boasts a jaw-dropping 22.48-carat pendant known as the Lahore Diamond.

She was crowned with the same headpiece Queen Mary used in 1911, although she added jewels from Queen Elizabeth’s collection to honor her late mother-in-law.

Camilla also paid tribute to her husband’s mother by wearing the same robe Elizabeth wore to her own coronation 70 years ago.

The Princess of Wales went with her favorite fashion house, Alexander McQueen, for the historic day. She wore an ivory silk crepe gown with silver bullion and threadwork embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs, the same symbolic florals seen on Queen Camilla’s dress.

She accessorized with Princess Diana’s earrings and Queen Elizabeth’s George VI Festoon Necklace, and skipped a tiara in favor of a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece with three-dimensional leaf embroidery.
