For some, the coronation of King Charles III is about the crowning of a new monarch.
For others, it's about the looks. The looks, people!
Now, we are those others, and there was one fashion moment that had us all voicing an audible 'aww' when we spied it coming down The Mall.
And it had everything to do with royal headwear.
Watch the Mamamia Out Loud hosts discuss all the royal things they're not allowed to. Post continues after video.
Kate Middleton (aka the Princess of Wales) arrived to the coronation with her hair in an intricate up-do, topped with a delicate silver flower-motif headpiece – and in an adorable matching moment, her daughter, Princess Charlotte, wore a smaller version of the same headband.
The Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpieces the mum-and-daughter duo wore featured silver bullion, crystal, and three-dimensional leaf embroidery.

While the Cambridge Lover’s Knot, Lotus Tiara and the Cartier Halo tiara (which she wore for her wedding to William, Prince of Wales) are some of Kate's favourites, the floral double band she went with isn't from the official royal collection.
There were rumours in the lead-up to the coronation that none of the royal women would wear tiaras, according to The Times – and now those reports have turned out to be true, it begs the question: why not just wear one you've already got?
(A question women everywhere ask themselves every time an event rolls around, but I digress.)
Apparently, the royal ladies opted for more understated headgear to fit Charles' apparent 'low-key' brief for the coronation ceremony.
"Compared to the last coronation, there will be a lot less fuss," a source told the Daily Mail in the lead-up to the event, with a “more relaxed dress code” – so it looks like they nailed the brief!
