It's a ceremony that will long be remembered - in this country and around the world. Tomorrow brings the first anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles at Westminster Abbey, the 40th reigning sovereign to be crowned there. Millions tuned in at home and abroad to watch a ceremony with roots that can be traced back to William the Conqueror. As we reflect on this momentous occasion one year later, we revisit 15 unforgettable moments from a day of true history...

Her every fashion move makes waves - and the same even applies to the way the Princess of Wales dresses her daughter, Princess Charlotte , who turns nine today. The attention comes with the territory. Although the Waleses do their very best to give their three children something close to a normal childhood, the family carries a certain weight of expectation. Catherine often dresses Charlotte in coordinating outfits with matching colour palettes for public engagements. But there is another reason, too, why the little princess attracts so much attention - and that's the timeless British styles that dominate her wardrobe - to the envy of parents up and down the country. Here we look back at some of the outfits that have charmed a nation.

The pair became friends at St Andrew's University (left) - with the early days of their romance recently dramatised in the final season of The Crown - and that connection blossomed into romance. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in October 2010 and the couple now share three children George, Charlotte and Louis (inset).

It was one of the feel-good moments of the decade - the union of Prince William, handsome heir to the throne, and elegant commoner Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011. Even the British weather agreed, with the clouds parting has the new husband and wife emerged from Westminster Abbey to greet the public - and found themselves bathed in golden spring sunshine. Many of us still have fond memories of those moments. And today, on the anniversary of the Waleses' wedding, we hope to jog a few of those with this A-Z of a glorious occasion.

Skinny jeans have divided opinion for some years now, with Gen Z and a number of fashion insiders declaring skin-tight denim to be officially over. Yet, today, the noughties throwback - which was first made famous by Kate Moss in 2005 - is clinging to the calves of celebrities and models on the catwalk and making a polarising resurgence. After a decade of loose-legged comfort, where the dominant jean styles have been both wearable and comfortable, skinny silhouettes are trickling into all the new-season collections, from Miu Miu to Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen. There may be sceptics, but the Princess of Wales is certainly not one of them.

EVEN to hardened detectives, it was a ­macabre scene. In a second-floor bedroom strewn with rubbish and swarming with flies, in one of London 's most exclusive addresses, lay the decomposing body of a woman crudely covered with a tarpaulin and bin bags. Her hand was still clutching the crack pipe that had killed her, but such was the decay she could only be formally identified by the serial number of her pacemaker.

Sophie, 59, was all smiles as she tucked into fresh produce at the event in Shepton Mallet during her visit to Somerset on Wednesday. She appeared in high spirits while walking around the stalls that showed the local region's best selections, including ciders and jams. One snap saw her marvelling over a tub of fresh apples. In another, she and a group of young children looked at a selection of herbs and grains. Elsewhere the royal also got to see a bee hive and some sheep in a pen.

The Gentlemen outfits on Netflix tell a tale that has turned into rack and ruin as a second son inherits a family estate that, as he discovers, has devolved into rack and ruin. Needless to say, it's also a tale of Barbour jackets, wellies, and Prince of Wales checks. Susie Glass (HoKaya Scodelario)'s subtuitive style echoes the Princess of Wales' beautifully curated wardrobe, while Eddie Horniman (Theo James ) mimics a dressed down Prince William. The Gentlemen's wardrobe, created by costume designer Lou Lou Bontemps, gives endless fashion inspiration, beautifully encapsulating each character in classic-with-a-twist country wear outfits as well as luxurious fashion prints, as well as a strong similarity to our own royal family.

On Friday morning, Beyonce was seen in dazzling new photographs for the W magazine's digital edition. On the cover, the Texas-born songbird was wearing a beige cowgirl hat that read 'New Era.' And the mother of three children wore a chic mocha latter colored suit with brown accents. For a busty appearance, she wore no shirt or bra.

If you adore your sluggish jeans, take a look now. If you're looking for a quick clear out at the end of March after being told that skinny jeans are officially over for a few years, take a deep breath. It's beginning to look as if skinnies are making a comeback. Yes, indeed. The leg-clinging, ankle-gripping cut, which was the common go-to style in the noughties, made a splash on the autumn/winter 2024 catwalks, but not just on any shows, but Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and Prada's little sister Miu Miu. Then, right on cue, was the jeans style that was debating fashion Siberia six or so years ago in favour of wide-leg styles, but Kate Moss's paparazzi shot of her wearing skinny-fit jeans with a vintage Vivienne Westwood top and Pretty Ballerina ballet flats were both out on a sunny spring weekend.

At Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011, it wasn't just the bride and groom that drew worldwide notice. No further comment is required on Kate's sister Pippa's svelte appearance. And, of course, there were Beatrice and Eugenie, who most unexpectedly awaited sporting headgear of surprising - to put it more kindly - flamboyance. In Eugenie's case, an opulent Philip Treacy fascinator was paired with a striking Vivienne Westwood dress, a mixture that resulted in as much criticism as praise. And will have a long life in memory, for those that have lived long in the memory.

Beyonce's new magazine cover was a hit. For the digital front of W magazine, the Texas-born singer was wearing a white cowgirl hat to honor her first country album Cowboy Carter, which was released on Friday morning. In a stunning outdoor country theme shoot by photographer Pamela Hanson, she looked better than ever.

The Princess of Wales has been attending the annual event on St Patrick's Day for more than a decade. The end has been something of a year-round fashion high point for Kate, who normally dresses in a classic coat dress for the occasion. The dress coat, which comes in a variety of styles, double-breasted styles, and maternity tailoring, is a versatile fashion piece that adds a touch of shine to her working wardrobe. The coat dresses, which include examples from Catherine Walker, Emilia Wickstead, and Alexander McQueen, have all been pulled together despite the weather, while still delivering a note of dramatic glamour.

The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Edinburgh are said to have a strong relationship, which can be expressed in their fashion choices. The similarities in their attire, from trouser suits to matching dresses, show a remarkable bond that goes beyond personal style. Sophie has mirrored Kate's sartorial choices on several occasions, including state occasions and more informal appearances, despite their 17-year age gap.

As the end of this season of The Bachelor comes, followers on social media are giving their opinion about the fashion choices. Although some have been lauded, like former contestant Maria Georgas, the new frontrunners have been booed on social media. Folks on TikTok can't get enough of this season of The Bachelor's clothing and shoes - and reactions are largely divided when it comes to the footwear. On X, one content creator even made a video describing the sexy, strappy choices - and commenters obliged, as well as viewers who pointed out the 'geriatric' footwear on X.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: When his father died in 2019, he inherited a historic title, Floors Castle in Scotland, and an estimated £100 million estate, but the Duke of Roxburghe did not have a wife. Charlie Innes-Ker, 43, an Army pal of Prince Harry, got it right two years later by marrying Annie Green, 34, the stepdaughter of South African mining tycoon Patrick Quirk Patrick Quirk. She now has a son and heir. 'They are both thrilled,' a friend tells me.' 'They've named him Frederick, so they'll be Freddie.' Eugenie, Charlie's seven-year-old daughter, and Morvarid Sahafi, an Iranian fashion designer, who was a friend of Annie, have a child.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was joined by her husband Prince Edward as they went to the Community Sport and Recreation Awards in Leeds. As they entered Headingley Stadium, the late Queen's younger son, 59, and his wife were adamant. This week, the couple is expected to lead the nation again, while Queen Camilla takes a well-deserved break from public life after stepping in for King Charles while he continues with cancer treatment.

At an event for flavored water brand Bai on Thursday, Sydney Sweeney looked stunning in a hot pink gown from ALAA as she channeled her inner Barbie. At an intimate gathering in New York City, the Euphoria actress, 26, oozed glamour as she spoke to her and Bai's new joint venture on a raspberry lemon lime cocktail. She complemented her twisted fit-and-flare midi-dress with a pair of red $595 Maison Ernest pumps and black sunglasses from Alexander McQueen, which retail for $485. Her platinum blonde locks were sported in loose waves, falling down her back and shoulders.

Sophie, 59, was accompayed by her husband Edward, 59, and the club in Staffordshire (right), which aims to combat youth violence and anti-social behaviour by involving young people.

During a glamorous appearance at Paris Fashion Week on Saturday evening, Salma Hayek commanded attention from both the back and the front. At the bi-annual exhibition, the Mexican-American actress, 57, was on the front row as British fashion house Alexander McQueen unveiled their fall-winter 2024 collection. After venturing backstage with her husband, French businessman François Pinault, she had the opportunity to pose for some stunning social media photos.

The Italian fashion house can often be relied on to embrace color with exuberance; in 2022, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli memorably dressed his models in a specific shade of fuchsia for the Valentino Pink PP collection. Nevertheless, 'vibrant' is certainly not the first word that springs to mind when considering Valentino's latest autumn/winter series, Le Noir, but it is not the first word that comes to mind. A more accurate descriptor would be 'Funereal.' Piccioli concentrated on texture, with the clearest chiffon, the most delicate lace, and the shiniest sequins all showing points of concern. Also the models' lips were painted glossy black. He lent his collection even more by playing with silhouettes. Are you ready for the Eighties power shoulder? Let's hope so. In addition, balloon-shaped sleeves, plunging V necklines, and A-line mini skirts were available.

On Saturday evening, Noomi Rapace appeared in front row alongside Juliette Binoche at the Alexander McQueen Paris Fashion Week show.
