The Princess of Wales' mother Carole Middleton rarely steps out into the spotlight, but when she does, the 68-year-old's effortlessly elegant style never fails to disappoint.

On Sunday, the mother-of-three served up a stunning off-duty outfit in a new photograph shared in the Party Pieces newsletter. Channelling her daughter's timeless fashion sense with a simple but sophisticated look, Carole rocked a pair of waist-defining denim jeans with a flattering caramel-hued blouse from Tory Burch, complete with an open collar and statement wrap tailoring.

Carole's chocolate brown tresses were perfectly coiffed in a bouncy blowdry, whilst the entrepreneur sported a glowy makeup combination to compliment her ageless features.

Prince William's mother-in-law kept accessories simple, donning a delicate silver cross necklace and tiny hoop earrings we know the Princess of Wales would love.
