Her radiantly beautiful appearance during the coronation

Catherine, Princess of Wales: Her earrings pay homage to Princess Diana
The Princess of Wales appears at Westminster Abbey with her husband, Prince William, 40. An extravagant headband by Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen consisting of three-dimensional leaf embroidery made of silver bars, crystal and silver threads, which taper upwards like a tiara, is enthroned on her head. Particularly beautiful: Kate opts for earrings with diamonds and South Sea pearls, which feature a horseshoe pattern at the top and intricately linked marquise-cut diamonds below. The earrings once belonged to the late Princess Diana – and are now being used again on this special day.
Kate bets on Alexander McQueen
First photos reveal Kate’s dress: it is an Alexander McQueen model and is made of ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and thread embroidery with rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs. The 41-year-old wears a blue cloak of the Royal Victorian Order. White lace pumps complete her special look.
A connection to Kate’s wedding dress
