Dr. Jill Biden may have attended King Charles III and Queen Camilla's coronation without her husband, President Joe Biden, but she didn't arrive at Westminster Abbey alone.
The First Lady was joined by her gorgeous granddaughter, Finnegan Biden who made a bold fashion statement in a lemon-yellow dress. The 23-year-old looked stunning as she made her way into the church on Saturday morning alongside her grandmother, who looked chic in all blue.
Finnegan opted for a body-skimming, ankle-length dress that featured a subtle slit in the back. She teamed it with a matching, statement cape and a pair of heeled pumps. Her hair was worn down in loose curls and she added a pretty floral headband and a pale-yellow box clutch.
As for Jill, she looked sophisticated in an asymmetric Ralph Lauren pastel blue shirt suit, which she teamed with a pair of matching gloves and pointed-toe heels in a timeless nude shade. She accessorized with a delicate blue bow in her hair which perfectly matched her outfit, along with a pair of delicate silver earrings and a matching bangle.
It was announced in April that President Biden would not be attending the coronation, despite His Majesty's invitation. Finnegan, however, is not part of an official delegation to the event but is the guest of her grandmother.

The White House said in a statement: "There is no official US delegation. Finnegan is a plus one. As we've noted before with other family travel, historically, family members of Presidents have frequently joined them during travel. Current practices are consistent with those used by prior Administrations."
Biden's decision not to attend Charles' coronation is believed to be a result of his desire not to break a tradition spanning from the very birth of the United States of America.
This tradition dictates that US Presidents should not attend events such as coronations as a result of the USA's proud independence from the rule of the United Kingdom.
The President revealed his intention to miss Charles' coronation through a phone call, a statement from the White House confirmed.
The coronation events will continue throughout the weekend, with the official coronation ceremony taking place at Westminster Abbey, where King Charles will be officially crowned sovereign alongside his wife, Queen Consort Camilla.
Following the service, the newly crowned pair will return to Buckingham Palace in the Coronation Procession, where they will be joined by other members of the royal family.
The monarch's coronation is a break from tradition as it is the first coronation to take place on a Saturday in over 100 years. The service is expected to be "a solemn religious" event as well as one of "celebration and pageantry".
It is also expected to be a "reflection" of the monarch's role in today's society while being "rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry".
A special coronation concert will follow on Sunday 7 May, which will be held outside Windsor Castle. The star-studded line-up will include performances from Take That, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie. Several royal family members will be in attendance, and Prince William is expected to make a speech in honor of his father, King Charles.
