royal robes
King's ceremonial dress
Royal robes are the ceremonial garments worn by monarchs on formal occasions—coronations, state openings of parliament, official portraits.
They typically include ermine-trimmed capes, velvet trains, and rich fabrics in purple or crimson.
The phrase evokes the full regalia of kingship: The queen appeared in her royal robes.
Figuratively, royal robes suggest the trappings of power or authority.
