Royal christening: Female guests all go for cream and blue Royal favourite Stewart Parvin designed the Queen's sky blue ensemble New mother Catherine chose a stunning Alexander McQueen suit Carole Middleton teamed her blue and cream outfit with a Jane Corbett hat Not the first time the royals have co-ordinated their outfits The Royal Family and the Middletons put up a united fashion front at the christening of Prince George at St James's Palace in London yesterday. All wore shades of chic cream or royal blue for the event with the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cornwall, Pippa Middleton - and of course Prince George! - all sporting off-white. Zara and the Queen picked shades of navy and powder-blue and Carole Middleton wore a mixture of the two, in a navy coat and cream dress. Traditional gown: Kate co-ordinated her colour with that of her son, who was dressed in a replica of the gown that Queen Victoria's first born was christened in Mother and child: Kate and George wore exquisitely ruffled ivory gowns for the Prince's first royal engagement Do you think they send an email round before big events? We imagine Kate being the organiser. Yesterday, as at her last official engagement, Kate looked fresh and elegant. The proud mother stole the show in a ruffled Alexander McQueen suit, with a straw pillbox hat from Jane Taylor, a bespoke version of the designer's Matilda hat (which costs £755). George wore a delicate lace gown - even more beautifully ruffled than his mother's McQueen number - that is an exact replica of one worn 172 years ago by Queen Victoria's first born. He was welcomed into the faith by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury yesterday in the ivory gown made of delicate Honiton lace and white satin, worn before him by every baby born to the British Royal family since 1841. George's aunt Pippa opted for a 'trapeze' coat and 'Paris' dress by British designer, Suzannah. The designer created a bespoke version of the cream wool coat with a blush pink trim and oyster silk lining for Pippa. A similar version is on sale for £750. Pippa teamed her outfit with a jaunty hat by British milliner Edwina Ibbotson and carried a pale blush clutch bag. Cream dream: Pippa opted for a 'trapeze' coat and 'Paris' dress by British designer, Suzannah Elegant in ivory: Camilla wears a textured coat and cream dress, accessorised with beautiful pearls The designer told Grazia it was a 'dream come true' when Pippa approached her about her outfit for the christening. Creating a couture dress and frock coat not only for the occasion of the royal christening, but for Pippa Middleton, who is so naturally elegant and stylish is a commission that every designer dreams of. True blue: Both the Queen and Carole Middleton chose shades of blue for the christening In the navy: Zara Tindall wore a chic navy dress with matching coat - and those trusty nude heels, which have become such a favourite of the royal women The last of the ivory trio, Camilla, meanwhile, chose a smart coat, matching bag and dramatic feathered hat. The blue brigade was led by the Queen, who looked as elegant as ever in a sky blue cashmere coat with mother of pearl buttons by Stewart Parvin over a paisley printed silk dress. Zara sailed in dressed in a stylish yet understated navy blue coat and matching . At around six months pregnant, she looked radiant. The Duchess of Cambridge's mother Carole, meanwhile, was as appropriate as ever in cream dress and navy coat with slimming lace panels which narrow the trunk of the body. Has the 'illusion' coat arrived? Matchy matchy: The Countess of Wessex ,The Duchess of Cambridge and The Duchess of Cornwall watching their husbands as they pass by during the procession of The Most Noble Order of the Garter, at Windsor Castle, in June 2012 The perfectly-groomed Carole, who smiled broadly as she arrived for intimate ceremony accompanied by husband Michael and children Pippa and James, teamed her coat with a large cream picture hat. And it's not the first time the merry wives of Windsor have gone matchy matchy - who could forget Camilla, Kate and Sophie Wessex in co-ordinating cream and blush shades at the historic Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle in June last year? Then, Kate dazzled in another Alexander McQueen outfit, with a Jane Corbett hat Camilla, 65, sported an Anna Valentine cream chiffon dress and pale pink coat with a dramatic Philip Treacy hat, while the Countess of Wessex, 47, looked elegant in bespoke Bruce Oldfield suit and saucer-shaped hat. Can we now expect a colour theme for each royal event? We hope so. Although cream and blue were the perfect choice for the event, and all of them looked lovely, we think everyone should follow the Queen's lead and throw a bit of bright colour in the mix next time.
