Here's What the Royal Family Will Wear to Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral

Buckingham Palace has released official details for Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral, which will take place on Monday, Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey, followed by a committal service at St George's Chapel. The statement includes in-depth information about the procession and attendees, who will wear all-black, according to Debrett's, an authority on British society. "Ladies wear black knee-length dresses, or coats, black hats, and may also wear face-covering veils," the publication states.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry's outfit has been widely discussed, as he is now being permitted to wear his military uniform, despite being stripped of royal titles in 2020, when he and wife Meghan Markle stepped away from the royal family. Harry served in the British army for 10 years, and he did wear his military medals while walking in the procession alongside his brother Prince William on Sept. 14.

Harry's spokesperson released a statement to E! News regarding his attire: "Prince Harry The Duke of Sussex will wear a morning suit throughout events honoring his grandmother. His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II." However, given recent updates, it seems he may choose to dress in full uniform at the state funeral, having worn it last in 2020 at the Mountbatten Music Festival.

Prince Andrew, who was stripped of royal military titles in 2022 following a lawsuit issued against him for sexual assault, was permitted to wear his own military uniform for the queen's vigil only, according to The Telegraph.

When the late Duke of Edinburgh passed away in April 2021, men wore black morning coats with their medals to the funeral, rather than military uniforms.

Ahead, see what Prince Harry and Markle wore to pay their respects during an intimate walk at Windsor Castle on Sept. 10, and review Harry's last appearance in his military outfit in 2020. Then, see how Markle and Kate Middleton paid tribute to the monarch with their jewelry at Westminster Hall on Sept. 14.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
