Jill Biden looked stunning on Saturday morning as she arrived at Westminster Abbey for King Charles III's coronation. 

The wife of Joe Biden looked so sophisticated in an asymmetric pastel blue shirt suit from Ralph Lauren, which she teamed with a pair of matching gloves and pointed-toe heels in a timeless nude shade. 

The First Lady of the United States accessorised with a delicate blue bow in her hair which perfectly matched her skirt suit, along with a pair of delicate silver earring and a matching bangle.

Jill styled her blonde locks in a bouncy blow-out style which beautifully framed her face with a soft glam maekup look consisting of a glowy base, a flutter of mascara and a glossy lip.

The First Lady arrived with her granddaughter Finnegin, and her husband Joe is not expected to attend the royal coronation, where King Charles III will be officially crowned sovereign alongside his wife Queen Consort Camilla. Joe's absence is believed to be a result of his desire not to break a tradition spanning from the very birth of the United States of America.

The coronation events will continue throughout the weekend, with the official coronation ceremony taking place at Westminster Abbey, where King Charles will be officially crowned sovereign alongside his wife, Queen Consort Camilla.

A special coronation concert will follow on Sunday 7 May, which will be held at Westminster Abbey. Several royal family members will be in attendance, and Prince William is expected to make a speech in honour of his father, King Charles.

The Coronation Crowns

Dating back to 1661, this magnificent historical item has been used in the coronation of every British monarch since the coronation of King Charles II. The glittering crown – crafted by crown jeweller Robert Viner – features a dazzling array of rubies, sapphires, rubies, garnets, topazes, amethysts, tourmalines and aquamarines.

One of the most fascinating items in the Crown Jewels. Created in 1937, the regal crown – which is based on earlier crowns dating back to the 17th Century – was designed for the coronation of King George VI. Weighing over 1kg, the golden crown is set with over 3,000 diamonds and a plethora of precious stones including sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Elsewhere, the crown is adorned with symbols that represent the monarchy, such as a cross and a fleur-de-lis.

Made by Garrards for the 1911 coronation and commissioned by Queen Mary, the consort of King George V. This is the first time a Queen Consort’s Crown has been reused since the 18th century. In a bid to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown Jeweller has reset the piece for Camilla's coronation with the late monarch's Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds.
