Popping in blue and yellow: Dr. Jill and Finnegan Biden
In an apparent show of support for Ukraine, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and granddaughter Finnegan Biden wore blue and yellow ensembles to the coronation ceremony, respectively. Finnegan’s yellow Markarian cape dress was soft, sweet and contemporary, while Dr. Biden’s cornflower blue Ralph Lauren skirt suit looked powerful, confident and understated. Mirror Dr. Biden’s effortless style with the Textured Crepe Notch Lapel Patch Pocket Button Front Jacket Skirt Set from Nippon Boutique. Available in six colors, including pale blue, the suit features a knee-length pencil skirt, and simple blazer with a scalloped notch lapel that adds visual interest and work-friendly elegance.

The dress is a play on Finnegan Biden’s dress, reimagined with a halter neckline and an attached cape that extends from the bottom of the dress. Most notably, the dress features an acrylic strap neckpiece that eliminates the need for any jewelry. Shop the dress in women’s sizes XS to L.
Topped with a blue fascinator: Zara Tindall
While Zara Tindall, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth and niece to King Charles, opted for a custom Laura Green coat dress in sky blue, it was her stunning fascinator that we couldn’t stop thinking about. The hat added a sophisticated finishing touch, along with the texture of the feathers. For a similar style that won’t break the bank, opt for the Oridoor Organza Derby Fascinator, which is available in 20 different colors, each with small design tweaks. From feather-heavy versions to one that makes use an especially pronounced bow, this sweet hat will be the elegant accessory you’ve been waiting for.
Powerful in teal: Penny Mordaunt
If there was one look that stole the show during the coronation ceremony, it had to come from Penny Mordaunt, Leader of the House of Commons, who donned a custom teal Safiyaa dress and cape, complete with gold fir leaves that crowned her head and adorned her shoulders. The powerful look was front and center as Mordaunt carried the sword of the state during the ceremony. To replicate Mordaunt’s look in your own wardrobe, reach for the Valentina Tie Waist Bodycon Midi Dress from Reiss. The long sleeve dress features a tie-waist design that highlights the silhouette, while the keyhole cutout adds a touch of modern sophistication.
