After attending the highly-anticipated coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday, Lionel Richie was invited to sing today at the star-studded Coronation Concert held at Windsor Castle in London.
For this historic event, the “American Idol” judge chose a white morning tailcoat decorated with sparkling details on the top, front and sleeves, finished with a black collar and cuffs covered in sequins.

The Grammy-winning pop star let the coat take all the attention, keeping the rest of the ensemble in black, with a silk button-down shirt and slim-fit black trousers.
As for footwear, Richie elevated his outfit with a pair of ankle boots that featured a short wedged heel.
