While the Princess of Wales’s white column gown featured a navy-and-white striped bow at the neckline, Charlotte’s sailor-style dress came in navy with white piping around the waist and sleeves, as well as along the paneled collar at the back. A white bow was placed in her hair, and she stepped into the Horse Guards Parade in central London wearing a pair of white Mary Janes.
It’s not the first time the Princess of Wales and her daughter have coordinated while making a public appearance. Arguably the most memorable matching moment came at the coronation of King Charles last year, when the pair wore silver bullion and crystal flower crowns by Jess Collet and Alexander McQueen, serving as a nod to the British folklore figure of the Green Man. (The design was widely interpreted as an homage to the king’s lifelong interest in nature, gardening, and championing environmental causes.)
