We should strive to live pure and holy lives, as seen in 1 Peter 1:15-16, so that we may be presented to Him in all our splendor.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 45:14
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 45:14

Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 45:14
Psalms 45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.Ver. 14. She shall be brought] she shall be presented to Christ a glorious Church, not having spot, wrinkle, or any such thing, Ephesians 5:27 Revelation 21:2.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 45:14
(14) In raiment of needlework.—This is now more generally understood of rich tapestry carpets spread for the procession. (Comp. Æsch. Agam. 908-910.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 45:14
Verse 14. She shall be brought unto the king] When an Asiatic princess is brought to her spouse, she is inclosed in a palakee, and no part of her person is visible. She is attended by her principal friends and companions, who follow the palakee, and the ceremony is accompanied with great rejoicing; and thus they enter into the palace of the king. This part of this parabolical Psalm may refer to the glories of a future state. The Christian Church shall be brought to the KING eternal in the great day, adorned with the graces of the Divine Spirit; and thus shall all the redeemed of the Lord enter into the king's palace - into the everlasting joy of their Lord.
