King Charles, along with Prince William and The Princess of Wales, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace this evening, ahead of his Coronation tomorrow, for Heads of States and foreign royals. So let’s take a look at some of the royal ladies – and count down to my best dressed lady of the evening.

Embed from Getty ImagesMy least favorite dressed is Queen Rania of Jordan, here with King Abdullah II. I just don’t like the weird pleating/draping on the skits and all the buttons.
Embed from Getty ImagesNext least favorite dresses is Crown Princess Mette-Marit, with Crown Prince Haakon. The color blocking is fine, but not a fave.
Embed from Getty ImagesNext up is Queen Anne-Marie, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, and Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece. Marie-Chantal’s white dress here is very pretty, but the jewelry is lacking compared to other ladies. Anne-Marie’s dress is just kind of boring.

Embed from Getty ImagesMargareta, Custodian of the Crown of Romania, wore this pretty teal dress with a large diamond floral brooch. She attended with her husband Prince Radu.
Embed from Getty ImagesKing Felipe attended with Queen Letizia, wearing this chartreuse dress – not a huge fan of the rushing but love the brooch and earrings.
Embed from Getty ImagesKing Philippe brought his heir, Princess Elisabeth, with him to the reception. I think she looks lovely here and I love her earrings.
Embed from Getty ImagesCrown Princess Mary is one of the best dressed royal ladies around, and she looks classic and lovely here. Also in attendance was her husband Crown Prince Frederik.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe delegation from The Netherlands were Princess Beatrix and Princess Amalia. I love that Amalia wore one of these giant pink jewels from a brooch as a necklace, and the suit is nice, but her hair kind of needs a brush.
Embed from Getty ImagesGrand Duchess Maria Teresa also wore a suit, but brought out this gorgeous emerald and diamond necklace.
Embed from Getty ImagesQueen Suthida, with King Vajiralongkorn, of Thailand wore this gorgeous blue dress and gold heels. Love it.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe Princess of Wales wore a blue dress with a wrap detail at the neck and embellishments at the shoulder.
Kate also wore the Queen Mother’s Sapphire and Diamond Fringe earrings. I love to see her wear these earrings.
Embed from Getty ImagesKing Jigme and Queen Jetsun from Bhutan were in attendance. The Queen wore a beautiful traditional dress with a lovely hair adornment – got to love it.
Embed from Getty ImagesI love Kate’s earrings but I don’t love her dress that much so I can’t in good conscious put her as my best dressed. For that, I’ve got to give it to Princess Charlene from Monaco, here with Prince Albert. I think this color is so pretty and I love the detailing. Also, are these pants? If so, I love it.
Embed from Getty ImagesHer earrings are also stunning.
