Fashion fans are in awe at the spectacle that Royal Ascot is bringing, but one of the most surprising outfits came from the Duchess of Cambridge's mother, Carole.

The founder of Party Pieces looked absolutely beautiful in a stunning pink dress from Me+Em, which is sadly so popular that it has already sold out. Carole wore the piece beautifully as she accessorised with a black clutch bag and wearing the most striking black hat. The stunning piece had a gorgeous lacy detailing all across it and suited the outfit perfectly. She completed the look with a pair of £60 Scream Pretty x Hannah Martin’s Baroque Pearl Earrings.

Carole was out at Royal Ascot
Mila had featured in the photography project Hold Still, where she was photographed giving her father, Scott, a kiss through a window while she was shielding because of her chemotherapy treatment.

It appears that the brand is a firm favourite of the Middleton family, as Kate's sister Pippa wore a green dress from the company when she attended the Party at the Palace as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
