Princess Charlotte's Coronation Look Inspires Comparisons to Princess Leia from 'Star Wars'
The 8-year-old's braided up-do and white caped dress reminded some keen-eyed Star Wars fans of one of Princess Leia's signature looks
Princess Charlotte's coronation look inspired some intergalactic comparisons.
Princess Charlotte entered Westminster Abbey in a crisp, white Alexander McQueen dress with a buttoned cape around her shoulders and long, draping sleeves. Her braided, pinned-up hair mirrored the style of her mother Kate Middleton's hair. The Princess of Wales and her daughter accessorized their looks with glittering headpieces by Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen.
Apart from inspiring comparisons to her mother, Charlotte's look also stirred up thoughts of Star Wars' Princess Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher, on social media. Throughout the sci-fi franchise, the rebel leader often wore her hair in two buns on either side of her head. Additionally, one of Princess Leia's iconic outfits was a mock-neck ivory gown with belled sleeves — similar to Charlotte's coronation ensemble.
"Charlotte does look very Princess Leia and I'm here for it," one Twitter user wrote during the historic ceremony, which took place two days after May 4th's Star Wars Day. On this year's Star Wars Day, Fisher was honored with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which the actress' daughter, Billie Lourd, accepted for her.
Social media users also found Star Wars flair in the coronation outfit of Prince Louis, 5, who entered the event alongside his older sister. "Why does it look like Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are dressed like Princess Leia and Ben Solo?" another coronation viewer tweeted, referencing the gray-blue shirt Adam Driver wore in the more recent Star Wars films.
While they may not have dressed in coordinating outfits, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis made an adorable pair during the coronation of their grandfather, King Charles. The two held hands on their way into the church and sat between their parents during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
