This easy-to-wear oversized blazer emulates the standout look of Emma Thompson's red coat but with a more spring/summer vibe. You can wear this piece over a black dress as the actor did or try it with a white vest top and jeans for a more casual look.

Emma wore the statement coat over a simple black dress, with kitten heels and a super cute little blue bag. Her hair was coiffed to perfection and she also brought her signature jolly attitude too.

It was peace signs, thumbs up, and all-around good vibes from the Nanny McPhee star, who proudly wore her damehood medal on her chest.

It may have been an awkward reunion for the cheeky actor, who previously shared a funny moment she had back in 2018. It was when she met Prince William as she won an award at the Earthshot Prize ceremony. Per the Mirror - she said she was a little forward.

"Prince William was absolutely fantastic," she said. "I wrote him a fan letter afterward. His face and body language, so kind and generous to every single person. I've known him since he was little really. I've always liked him."

"I couldn't believe how tall he'd got," she continued. "I did say, 'I suppose I better not kiss you' and he said, 'Probably better not.' I asked him about him and he said, 'Will you please stop talking about me, it's about you.' What a nice man."

We're sure she wasn't quite so bold today, especially as she was there with her adorable husband. Emma Thompson's bold statement about romantic love is definitely worth listening to - owing to the enviable relationship that she and her husband Greg Wise share.

Greg, who accompanied his wife to the coronation, isn't her first marriage. In fact it's second time lucky after Emma Thompson was 'utterly blind' to her first husband's affair with fellow A-list actor - which ended their marriage.
