Katy Perry attended the coronation service of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in London. The “American Idol” judge chose a lavender suit by late British designer Vivienne Westwood for the occasion.

Perry’s suit set consisted of a knee-length dress paired with a short-sleeved blazer and a midi skirt. The lavender color of her outfit nods to the British royal family, as purple is associated with royalty.

The American singer is known for her unique and eclectic style, often featuring bold prints, bright colors and playful accessories. She has been a fashion icon throughout her career, collaborating with designers and even creating her own fashion line.

Perry has also been involved in various philanthropic fashion initiatives, including supporting sustainable fashion and promoting diversity and inclusivity in the industry. In 2018, Perry performed at a charity event hosted by King Charles and was later appointed as an ambassador to aid in the British Asian Trust’s fight against child trafficking, with the support of Britain’s new king.

The Coronation Service, held at Westminster Abbey and conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a religious and formal ceremony that precedes the King’s Procession. After the service, King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, will join other members of the Royal family in a parade towards Buckingham Palace.

On Sunday, Perry will be one of the performers at the Coronation Concert, which will be broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC and BBC Studios, following the coronation. The list of performers also includes Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, Sir Bryn Terfel, Take That, Freya Ridings and Alexis Ffrench. The show will also feature a performance by The Coronation Choir, a group that recruited members from different choirs across the U.K., including refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ choirs and deaf signing choirs.
