Kate Middleton wears pale-pink Jenny Packham at the Queen’s coronation celebration

Celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee came full circle today with a ceremony at Westminster Abbey to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation. It was the first time that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to the Abbey since their wedding and, given the significance of today’s ceremony, the entire royal family was in attendance. We’re not going to lie: we were really hoping to see the royals dressed in traditional ermine robes and elaborate jewellery. (That Diamond Diadem crown deserves to be worn!) However, given that it’s 2013 and not 1953, the wardrobe choices were much more modern.
At the top of the best dressed list was, of course, the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a pale-pink bespoke Jenny Packham coat and dress. Today’s appearance may just be the first time that Kate Middleton’s baby bump has been totally visible from front-on—though the empire waistline certainly helped to emphasize it.
The pale-pink colour was very similar to the blush Alexander McQueen dress that Kate wore to last year’s Jubilee celebrations, so much so that she wore the same Jane Taylor hat to this morning’s ceremony.
Kate styled her hair in a half updo—a look that suited the hat perfectly while also allowing for her diamond earrings to be on display. (HRH Duchess Kate is reporting that both the earrings and matching diamond bracelet could be wedding gifts from Prince Charles.) And, in keeping with the pale-pink theme, Kate Middleton opted for champagne-coloured accessories: She wore her favourite LK Bennett heels and carried an Alexander McQueen clutch. Yes, even in her third trimester of pregnancy, Kate Middleton’s style reigns supreme. Baby Cambridge is certainly going to be one well-dressed tot!
