Even on the occasion of the ceremony dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, the royal protocol dictates certain precise rules: completely black dresses or coats, up to the knee, optional hats and veils for women and formal morning coats for men, unless you have right to military uniform.

ALL THE OTHER - It's not often that you see a parade of queens (and former queens) like the one in this image taken outside Westminster Cathedral. The American First lady Jill Biden chooses a black suit with golden buttons by Schiaparelli and a headband, decidedly not formal. Rania di Giordania enlivens the coat with ruffles, while Brigitte Macron is perfect in a total Louis Vuitton look.
