Carole, 71, actually wore the very same outfit back in 2017, at the wedding of her youngest daughter, Pippa Middleton.
Carole's timeless mother-of-the-bride look
Pippa married James Matthews at St Mark's Church in Englefield – a Grade 1-listed country church that dates back to the 13th century. The wedding reception was held at the Middleton family's home in Bucklebury, seven miles away.

She paired her Catherine Walker ensemble with a pair of nude Emmy London 'Olivia' shoes and a matching 'Natasha' clutch from the UK-based brand. Carole, who was 62 at the time, styled her brown, honey-hued hair in loose waves and opted for muted makeup tones, including a pale blush lip colour.

"Pastel colours are stunning as long as the tone is right, champagne, dusty pink and powder blue are wonderful colours, and with some embroidery or a beautiful trim, on a perfectly cut coat or dress, you will have a classic piece you will love forever," Queen Camilla's favourite fashion designer, Fiona Clare, previously told HELLO!.
