If you live in the UK, there's probably no way you've missed the fact that this weekend marks King Charles III's Coronation. Not only was there a mega official ceremony which took place yesterday and prompted many, many memes - most notably involving Katy Perry struggling to find her seat - there's been plenty of street parties across Britain, as well as the fact that there's a bank holiday to look forward to!
And for those that love celebs, glitz and glamour, there's an iconic Coronation Concert featuring performers such as Katy Perry and Nicole Scherzinger. Speaking of Nicole, and her turn regaling the crowds at this very special concert, she quite literally had our jaws on the floor when she graced the stage. This was partly due to her iconic but very unexpected rendition of 'Reflection' from the Mulan soundtrack, and also due to her totally stunning dress.
You can check it out here:
As you can see, it's a gorgeous midnight blue (very regal!) and is made from velvet, featuring draping and a panel at the bodice which is both sheer and sparkly - just to give the look a little extra oomph. It's strapless and while cinched in at the waist and at the legs, features a high-drama train. She accessorised with a diamond necklace, earrings and rings and wore her hair high in a ponytail.
But this isn't the only noteworthy outfit from the Coronation weekend - we've also seen Kate Middleton stunning crowds in Alexander McQueen and Katy Perry showing out in a dainty lavender suit at the Coronation ceremony.
Long may the gorgeous fashion continue!
