Arriving at Westminster Abbey in London alongside her brother James, Viscount Severn, Lady Louise looked beautiful in a flutter-sleeve dress by Theory, coined the 'Godet V-neck Recycled Polyester Midi Dress,' and pointed heels. Featuring a slim-fitting waistband, a deep midnight shade, and feminine layers of sheer fabric, the number was a practical choice for the historic event.

All eyes were on the visibly emotional young royal in her striking, V-neck dress, which she teamed with opaque tights, a black leather clutch bag and point-toe heels. In terms of her hairstyle, the young royal crafted her golden locks into a timeless low bun with intricate wavy detail. Two gently curled bangs shaped her radiant face and were held in place by a bow-clad velvet hairband by Jane Taylor London.
