The Princess of Wales, Blackpink, and the Stunning Gowns at the State Banquet for Korea
At the state banquet honoring South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, notable figures including the Princess of Wales, the K-pop sensation Blackpink, and Akshata Murty delivered a stunning display of fashion.
The royal venue sparkled on November 21 as guests celebrated the President's UK visit. The Princess of Wales dazzled in a rare Strathmore Rose Tiara and an elegant Jenny Packham gown, pairing it with a pearl clutch and Queen Elizabeth II's earrings.
Surprisingly, Blackpink graced the event with fashion-forward ensembles from international designers: Jisoo in Dior, Lisa in Georges Hobeika, Rosé in Pinkong, and Jennie in a gown by Toni Matičevski.
Earlier in the day, the Princess wore a striking red Catherine Walker ensemble, while Queen Camilla also embraced the vivid hue in a Fiona Clare velvet gown paired with the Burmese Tiara. The Duchess of Edinburgh relived a regal moment in her Suzannah London dress, echoing Queen Elizabeth II's coronation style.
From the political sphere, Akshata Murty chose an elegant Saloni dress, Samantha Cameron donned a Cefinn midi dress, and Victoria Starmer appeared in a sophisticated velvet gown.
