Representing the United States on behalf of her husband, President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden attended the coronation service for King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in London. She was accompanied by her granddaughter Finnegan Biden at the occasion.

Biden followed the dress code for the event, wearing a blue Ralph Lauren skirt suit. She completed her outfit with matching suede gloves and a bow-shaped fascinator. When it came down to footwear, Biden chose a pair of nude Marion Parke pumps with pointed toes, one of her favorite styles.

Charles will be the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned at the central London church since King William I in 1066. Outside the UK, he is also king of 14 other Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Camilla, his second wife, will be crowned queen alongside him, and be known as Queen Camilla after the ceremony.

Biden’s granddaughter wore a pastel yellow dress by Markarian. On social media, users pointed it out that the yellow and blue choice could be a tribute to the Ukranian flag colors. Biden’s blue suit could also represent the relationship between the U.S. and the U.K., as the color is prominent in both flags.
