King Charles' and Queen Camilla's coronation ceremony on Sunday was a star-studded affair.
The royals were crowned at London's Westminster Abbey, where more than 2,000 guests — including other royals, world leaders, and celebrities — marked their presence for the ceremony. While Charles and Camilla took centre stage, several guests made global headlines for their coronation outfits and performances.
Celebs at King Charles Coronation
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor delivered a spoken word performance at King Charles III's Coronation Concert. The Bollywood actor introduced various choir performers of the Commonwealth. For the concert, Kapoor donned a floral off-shoulder gown which was a collaborative vision of two of her favourite designers Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead. Sharing pictures of herself, the actress wrote, “Historic moments call for fashion moments."
Natasha Poonawalla
Businesswoman and philanthropist Natasha Poonawalla was one of the guests from India at the coronation concert of King Charles III in England. Natasha wore a blush nude saree and embellished bodysuit for the event and gave several glimpses of herself ahead of the concert. In a note, she said, "Coronation festivities…Loved meeting the King and Queen at the gorgeous Windsor Palace."
Katy Perry
Katy Perry put her most fashionable foot forward by opting for a custom ensemble by Vivienne Westwood. The backless gold metallic gown featured a plunging neckline, and an exaggerated train giving the outfit lent an ethereal appeal to the look. The singer went for a fuss-free hairstyle by tying it in a bun. She added a pair of oversized earrings to match the golden metallic gown.
Princess Charlotte and her mother, Kate, the Princess of Wales, sang along as Perry performed her pop hit “Roar.”
The newly crowned monarch and his wife appeared to enjoy the show as Lionel Richie stepped out to perform “All Night Long,” at one point getting up on their feet and swaying to the music.
Top Gun star Tom Cruise appeared in a recorded video message, saying: “Pilot to pilot. Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time.”
The program also saw performances by the Royal Ballet, Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls, opera singer Andrea Bocelli and British band Take That.
