The dress featured long sleeves and a flowing skirt with subtle pleating. A cinched waist added definition to the ensemble. The dress also took inspiration from suited attire with sinuous lapels with sharp angles. Kate coordinated the dress with her pillbox hat courtesy of Sean Barrett Millinery.
To complete the ensemble, the Princess of Wales wore a pair of neutral pumps by Ralph Lauren. The American designer is one the British royal gravitated toward during her recent excursion to Scotland alongside husband Prince William at the end of April.
To accessorize her look, Kate opted for pieces of jewelry with certain significance for the occasion, as well as pieces that coordinated with her ensemble. The Princess of Wales wore a Royal Navy Air Fleet Pin, a way to honor the veterans who attended the special ceremony.
She also wore a ruby necklace, which coordinated seamlessly with her ruby and diamond earrings. As for the rest of the Wales family, Prince William donned military garb for his attire. The Prince and Princess of Wales's children wore mostly muted tones in navy, with 10-year-old Princess Charlotte wearing the same ensemble she styled for 2024 Christmas Day celebrations.
Members of the British royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla (wearing a sapphire blue Fiona Clare ensemble), assembled on Buckingham Palace's iconic balcony for a special military flyover to commemorate V-E Day.

Kris Jenner's Changing Looks Through the Years and Her New Beauty Routine
Kris Jenner has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. The reality star and self-certified 'momager' has been on TV screens and red carpets since the early 1990s, with her arched eyebrows and defined cheekbones. She's openly admitted to undergoing both invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including a neck and face lift in 2011, Botox and an earlobe reduction in 2018. Up until recently, she stuck to a single makeup aesthetic: the smoky eye. Now, she's opting for more of a fresh face. Her makeup artist of nine years, Ash K Holm, told WWD she's been 'playing with softer, more elevated eye looks using light tones on the lid and in the crease.' For Jenner's base, Holm keeps both her skincare and makeup products minimal, going in first with Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream before using the Lancôme Teint Idole foundation and the Kylie Cosmetics Hybrid Blush in Summer Sorbet.
