Today is the royal baby christening, and across the pond, the British press are freaking out. Though the actual ceremony was very private—only 22 were invited, per Today—the occasion calls for another set of official photos and another glimpse at baby George. The color scheme for the event was white, with Kate snapped en route to the St. James's Palace wearing head-to-toe cream. Her dress was by Alexander McQueen (who we know is a fave) and her beret was by Jane Taylor, while George's long lace and satin number is a replica of a gown made in 1841 for another royal christening that had since been worn by 60 royal babies; the original is too fragile. Kate's sister Pippa echoed the color scheme in a cream wool trapeze coat worn over a light pink dress with a tiny pillbox hat, as did Camilla. The queen was in light blue (which she also donned for William's christening) and William wore a blue tie and a navy suit.

Express reports that after the service, "Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will give a private tea party in Clarence House, where guests will be served slices of christening cake, a tier taken from William and Kate's wedding cake."
