Kate’s family looked as wonderful as ever, with the proud grandparents taking the lead in similar tones. Kate’s father, Michael, arrived in a dark navy suit and her mother, Carole, wore a blue 1940s style dress by Suzannah.

A pregnant and gorgeous Pippa showed off her growing baby bump in a pale blue custom-made Alessandra Rich shirt dress with cuffed sleeves and oversized buttons. She teamed it with a matching hat and satin ankle strap heels.

Pippa's husband James Matthews joined the jolly gang in a navy suit, white shirt and blue patterned tie.

The Royals were in full fashion force at Prince Louis' christening. Take a look and find out what everybody wore, including the sweet baby prince.

Born on April 23, Prince Louis was the star of the show as he was christened on July the 9th. Of course we couldn’t help but let our eyes wander a bit to admire the outfits of the other royals who turned out for the grand event.

Taking place at The Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, Kate arrived with a sleeping Louis in her arms, followed by husband William and eldest children George and Charlotte.

Naturally, Kate’s outfit choice was totally fabulous, as were the other members of the family, who looked totally dashing too. Newlyweds Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined the celebration, as did Kate’s pregnant sister Pippa and her husband, Kate’s brother and his partner, Kate’s parents, and Prince Charles and Camilla (among other fabulously posh guests).

Here are all the details on what everyone wore for Prince Louis’ christening.

Prince Louis slept snuggly in his mother’s arms, a picture of peace the traditional handmade replica of the Royal Christening gown. The 1841 original was created by Jane Sutherland and was made of Spitalfields silk and Honiton lace. It was worn by 62 royal babies before it became too fragile to use. The new one was made by the Queen’s dresser Angela Kelly and was debuted at Prince Edward’s son James, Viscount Severn in 2008. Dominic Lipinski/Pool via REUTERS

The proud parents of Prince Louis looked radiant, being seen together as a family of five for the first time. Kate looked stunning in a bespoke white Alexander McQueen dress with a v-neckline, fit-and-flare hem and slightly padded shoulders. It is no secret the Duchess is a huge McQueen fan, wearing the designer to all three of her children’s christenings, as well as to her wedding. Kate accessorized her outfit beautifully, with a beaded Jane Taylor headband, nude court shoes and pearl earrings. Prince William looked just as chuffed, wearing a very smart navy suit. He paired it with a white shirt and light blue patterned tie. Louis’ siblings looked as cute as ever, giving the cutest royal waves as they walked past cameras. Prince George, 4, wore the same outfit that he wore at the Trooping the Colour parade last month – Amaia Kids ‘Daniel’ shirt and ‘Gull’ shorts, with navy Papouelli shoes. Princess Charlotte, 3, appeared to be wearing a new blue smocked dress with her Dona Carmen Blue ‘Mercedita Suela’ shoes and a light blue bow headband from Pepa & Co .

The newlyweds looked as lovely as ever as they attended their adorable nephew’s christening. Meghan paid tribute to both the United States and England by wearing designers from both countries. She wore a bespoke olive green Ralph Lauren dress, paired with a hat by milliner Stephen Jones, Manolo Blahnik’s BB pumps, a suede clutch bag and a pair of gloves. Prince Harry looked dashing in a navy suit, white shirt and light blue tie. Dominic Lipinski/Pool via REUTERS

Prince Charles played a little matchy-matchy with his sons, also wearing a navy suit with a pastel coloured shirt and patterned tie. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wore a cream three-quarter sleeve dress by couture designer Fiona Clare, which featured delicate embroidery on the neckline and cuffs. Teamed with an upturned brim Locke & Co hat, two-tone beige heels and a snakeskin clutch bag, Camilla looked lovely. She also accessorised with her four strand pearl choker with diamond clasp necklace. Dominic Lipinski/Pool via REUTERS
