Princess Charlotte is following her mother Kate Middleton’s steps when it comes to fashion. For the coronation service of her grandfather King Charles III and stepgrandmother Queen Camilla, the eight-year-old royal wore Alexander McQueen, one of Middleton’s favorite brands.

Charlotte’s outfit featured a cape and dress in white silk crepe with satin stitch embroidery featuring floral motifs. To complete her look, she added a mini version of the Jess Collett X Alexander McQueen crown worn by her mother. The headpiece had blooming silver flowers and leaves along with diamond detailing.
