First lady Nancy Reagan attended Prince Charles and Princess Diana's royal wedding rehearsal in a black and white floral ensemble in 1981.
Both Ronald and Nancy Reagan were invited to the wedding, but only the first lady attended.
For the actual wedding, she wore a pale pink silk outfit with a matching hat.
Reagan later described the wedding as "like a fairyland," according to United Press International.
In 1986, she wore turquoise as a guest at Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's wedding.
She accessorized the outfit with white gloves and neutral heels.
President Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea, attended King Mohammed VI and Salma Bennani of Morocco's wedding in 2002.
Clinton wore a navy suit with a blue tie, and Chelsea accessorized a black dress with a yellow necklace and red shawl.
President Pal Schmitt and first lady Katalin Makray Schmitt of Hungary coordinated perfectly at the 2011 wedding of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco.
Makray Schmitt's pink and taupe outfit with a grey hat matched her husband's taupe tie and grey suit.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha, attended Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011.
David Cameron wore a three-piece suit with a tailcoat, and Samantha chose a turquoise ruched dress by Burberry. She paired the designer dress with shoes from affordable brand Aldo.
The Daily Mail noted at the time that, while her look garnered praise from fashion critics, she broke tradition by not wearing a hat. Instead, she wore a jewelled hair clip by Erdem.

Gonzalez Durantez's coral fascinator popped against her grey polka-dot outfit. Clegg wore a matching grey tie.

"Her Majesty's Government was consulted on this decision, which was taken by The Royal Household."
