Carole Middleton made a striking public appearance at the *Turn the Tables* event in support of Cancer Research UK, marking her first official outing of the year. But what really caught royal fans' attention wasn’t just her presence—it was her fashion choice.
Dressed in a chic and sophisticated gingham jacket, Carole’s look at Monday’s *Turn the Tables 2025* event instantly drew comparisons to her daughter, Princess Kate. The 70-year-old exuded confidence and class, seemingly taking a style cue from the Princess of Wales’ most recent public appearance.
This isn’t the first time Carole has embraced elegant and refined fashion. In October 2022, she was spotted wearing a gingham tweed tailored jacket by LK Bennett, which she paired with the *Kate* blue quilted leather shoulder bag by Jaeger and stylish black trousers.
Her polished ensemble immediately caught the attention of royal enthusiasts, sparking a frenzy on social media. Many fans shared their admiration on X (formerly Twitter), with responses echoing a similar sentiment.
- “She looks so lovely,” one user wrote.
- “She looks so beautiful,” remarked another.
- “She looked beautiful at this event,” added a third.
- A fourth fan gushed, “I adore Carole Middleton’s sense of style. She and Pippa are consistently exquisite, timeless, and spot-on. I adore them both.”
It seems Carole and her 43-year-old daughter, Princess Kate, have more in common than just their elegant fashion sense. Kate, known for her sustainable approach to style, frequently rewears wardrobe staples while championing British designers.
During a recent appearance in Wales, the Princess of Wales stepped out in a brown tweed jacket that reportedly dates back to 2007, originally purchased from Ralph Lauren. Interestingly, Carole’s gingham jacket also featured a tweed fabric and was a rewear from almost three years ago, further highlighting their shared appreciation for timeless fashion.
Like Kate, Carole seamlessly blends high-street and luxury brands, frequently supporting British fashion labels. Last summer, she turned heads at Wimbledon in a silk-cotton *Me+Em* maxi dress featuring an empire waist, long sleeves, and a flowing skirt in pastel hues of pink, green, and blue. She has also been spotted wearing a stunning blue midi dress by *Karen Millen* with a wrap neckline and structured silhouette—an outfit she donned in 2011 on the evening before Kate and Prince William’s royal wedding.
Carole Middleton’s latest fashion moment proves that style truly runs in the family. Her ability to balance classic sophistication with modern trends continues to captivate royal fans, reinforcing her status as a fashion icon in her own right. Whether intentional or not, her resemblance to Kate’s wardrobe choices is undeniable—making her one of the most stylish royal-adjacent figures to watch.
