United States President Joe Biden could not make it to England for King Charles III's coronation, but his wife, first lady Jill Biden, and granddaughter Finnegan Biden attended in his place.

The two coordinated looks for the royal event, and Finnegan stole the show with her breezy pastel yellow cape dress. She paired the piece with matching suede pumps and a headband with tulle flowers on one side. She additionally carried a white handbag and wore gold jewelry. Her makeup look was a smoky dark eye, and she styled her hair in relaxed waves.
