Lionel Richie and Katy Perry are amongst the celebrity guests at King Charles' coronation.
Perry, 38, was pictured arriving at the historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey alongside British Vogue editor Edward Enninful.
The singer was dressed head-to-toe in lilac, wearing a skirt and short-sleeved jacket with matching gloves and an elaborate fascinator. She also wore a pearl Vivienne Westwood necklace and carried a white handbag from the brand.
Perry — who is an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, founded by Charles in 2007 — was then pictured taking her seat amongst the 2,200 guests.
Meanwhile, Richie, 73, looked smart in a three-piece morning suit with a gold tie and grey pants as he chatted with fellow guests before the service began.

The staging creates multiple levels for the 70-piece orchestra and band in the form of an abstracted Union Jack. Four additional catwalks branch out of the flag geometry from the stage into the crowd to create more areas for performers.
The event will be attended by 20,000 members of the public from across the U.K. — and, of course, members of the royal family.
Following the conclusion of the coronation weekend, Charles and Camilla, 75, will travel to Sandringham in Norfolk.
